Abstract
Temporomandibular joint-myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (TMJ-MPDS) treatment apparatus and methodology employs a transcutaneous electronic wave to suppress pain associated with TMJ-MPDS. A first positive contact electrode is placed at the pain site and a second positive contact electrode is placed at the contra-lateral temporomandibular joint; and a negative contact electrode is placed at the web of the ipsilateral hand. An electronic current wave comprising relatively high frequency pulses with a low frequency amplitude modulation is then applied between the first to the second electrodes.
