“…By regulating intracellular calcium levels, this therapy can potentially prevent disruptions to the muscle membrane integrity and detrimental changes in muscle function caused by increased calcium concentration [ 15 ]. In the context of CMT, where sustained isometric contraction of the SCM can impede regular blood flow and ion exchange at the cellular membrane, this mechanism becomes particularly relevant [ 16 , 17 ].…”

The efficacy and frequency of physiotherapy in the prognosis of congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) that involves the entire sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle continues to be unclear. This study investigated the therapeutic effect of intensive inpatient therapy given to infants with CMT that involves the whole SCM using clinical measurements and ultrasound (US). This study included 54 infants (27 boys and 27 girls; mean corrected age of 18.57 days) evaluated for CMT at our outpatient clinic from January 2014 to May 2021. The included patients were divided into three groups (groups 1, 2, and 3). Patients in group 1 underwent outpatient treatment 12 times. Patients in groups 2 and 3 underwent therapeutic exercise followed by US diathermy with microcurrent twice daily for 1 or 2 weeks, respectively. Passive range of motion of the cervical rotation (PCRROM) and SCM thickness were evaluated pre- and post-treatment. Among the three groups, the demographic data at baseline were not significantly different, SCM thickness and PCRROM were significantly decreased/increased at post-treatment compared to pre-treatment (p < 0.05), mean PCRROM change was significantly greater in group 3 (p < 0.05), and mean SCM thickness reduction between pre-treatment and 3 months post-treatment was significantly greater in groups 2 and 3 (p < 0.05). Therefore, intensive inpatient therapeutic exercise and US diathermy with microcurrent may enhance the prognosis of CMT involving the entire SCM muscle.

“…Intramuscular pressure during contraction can exceed the blood pressure and stop arterial flow1. In muscles that are isometrically contracted for a prolonged period of time (chewing or bruxism) there is interference with normal blood circulation and therefore interference with ionic interchange at the cells membranes; increase of pyruvic and lactic acid; glycogen depletion; oxygen debt; and decrease of metabolites clearance 1 , 23 , 27 .…”

“…Repetitive depolarizations of skeletal muscle at a rate less than 100/min in the presence of an adequate supply of high-energy phosphate reduces fatigue contracture 26 . Mild, rhythmic muscle movement increases the local circulation of blood and lymph, which reduces the interstitial edema and accumulation of noxious tissue metabolites 13 , 26 , 27 .…”

The effect of Microcurrent Electrical Nerve Stimulation (MENS) was evaluated and compared with occlusal splint therapy in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) patients with muscle pain. Twenty TMD patients were divided into four groups. One received occlusal splint therapy and MENS (I); other received splints and placebo MENS (II); the third, only MENS (III) and the last group, placebo MENS (IV). Sensitivity derived from muscle palpation was evaluated using a visual analogue scale. Results were submitted to analysis of variance (p<0.05). There was reduction of pain level in all groups: group I (occlusal splint and MENS) had a 47.7% reduction rate; group II (occlusal splint and placebo MENS), 66.7%; group III (MENS), 49.7% and group IV (placebo MENS), 16.5%. In spite of that, there was no statistical difference (analysis of variance / p<0.05) between MENS and occlusal splint therapy regarding muscle pain reduction in TMD patients after four weeks.
