Sponsor's own description
Goals. To evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture on paresthesia and myofunctional changes in patients undergoing bimaxillary orthognathic surgery and mentoplasty. Methodology: this is a controlled, randomized, blinded clinical trial. The sample will consist of 62 individuals in each group (general sample = 124 participants). Therefore, 124 young adults, aged between 18 and 50 years, both sexes, with at least 24 teeth, with Class II or III skeletal malocclusion, diagnosed by cephalometric radiographs, who underwent orthognathic surgery in the period from 1 to 30 days before the start of physical therapy, be available to perform the proposed postoperative treatment for six weeks. Participants will be equally and randomly distributed into two experimental groups: GF (Physiotherapy Group), GFE (Physiotherapy plus Electroacupuncture Group). The variables to be studied will be: socioepidemiological data; sensitivity assessment by the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test; Edema assessment by the MD Anderson Cancer Center Head and Neck Lymphedema protocol, validated in Portuguese; assessment of mandibular movements using a Western-DC digital caliper; Assessment of masticatory function using the Chewing Quality Assessment Questionnaire. Data will be analyzed descriptively and organized into tables. Subsequently, the normality of continuous variables will be tested by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. As the variables are normally distributed, we will use parametric tests such as the paired t test, independent t test, ANOVA and Pearson's correlation. Nonparametric tests such as Wilcoxon paired signed rank test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test, Spearman correlation test will be used in case of non-normality of continuous variables. The significance level will be adjusted to 5% in all analyses.
