Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of injection methods (1∶1∶1 mixed of lidocaine, methotrexate, and dibandolone) in the treatment of pterygoid muscle spasms. Methods: Twenty-eight cases were diagnosed as pterygoid muscle spasms and treated with injection methods for three times. Assessments were carried out including the clinical features, VAS score, mandibular movement, and Fricton index. Results: A significant difference (P<0.05) after three injections was found in the VAS score, mouth opening degree, laterality and protrusion movements, and Friction index compared with pre-treatment. Conclusion: It is suggested that the injection method might be an effective treatment for the pterygoid muscle spasms.

Key words: Pterygoid muscle, Muscle spasm, Injection method
