The study aimed to examine the change occurred in hyoid bone position among the patients with myofascial pain and to assess the revised hyoid triangle as a three-dimensional cephalometric technique to determine the location of the hyoid.
Hyoid bone position shows a
significant association with the progression of myofascial pain. The study
highlights the role of hyoid bone position changes impact on myofascial pain
management.
The study aimed to examine the change occurred in hyoid bone position among the patients with myofascial pain and to assess the revised hyoid triangle as a three-dimensional cephalometric technique to determine the location of the hyoid.
Thirty female patients with
myofascial pain assess via pre- and post-treatment CBCT were interpreted by a
blinded analyst implementing modified hyoid triangle. Paired sample t-test was used to measure the
changes in dimensions of the hyoid triangle.
Liberation of the hyoid bone away from the mouth floor and a drawing next of the chin to the third cervical vertebra were noticed during statistical analysis (-2.0 mm, 1.5 mm; p = 0.026, p = 0.011, respectively).
The outcomes reflect reduced forward head posture and relaxation of suprahyoid musculature may lead to the management of myofascial pain. The probability for change in oropharyngeal dimension and airway is unambiguous.
