Rapid improvement of the pain is required to ensure and maintain adequate patient compliance. Objective: The study was intended to assess the effects of acupuncture in patients with temporomandibular disorders as compared to placebo therapy (sham laser) the primary target parameter was the subjective pain sensation. Design: Randomized, placebo controlled trial Patients and methods: 23 patients were enrolled an randomly assigned to one of the two groups. One group received acupuncture treatment according to the verypoint technique, the other group received sham laser treatment. The following observer-blinded findings were evaluated before and after treatment: subjective pain, mouth opening and muscular tenderness and pain on pressure. In addition, mandibular, joint movement pathways were recorded using electronic axiography. Outcomes: Improvement in pain scores (scale 0-100) in the acupuncture group (19.1±11.9) were significant (p=0.03) versus in the placebo group (6.2±14.8). Mouth opening showed an insignificant trend towards improvement (p>0.1) in the acupuncture (5.o±6.2mm)versus the placebo group (1.0±4.7mm), differences in tenderness and pain on pressure in neck and masticatory were significant (p

The vessel diameter was significantly decreased immediately after needles insertion and returned to the basal level at 180 sec after the stimulation. The blood flow volume was significantly decreased immediately after the needles insertion (p
