Myorelaxant Effect of Bee Venom Topical Skin Application in
Patients with RDC/TMD Ia and RDC/TMD Ib: A Randomized, Double Blinded Study
Biomed Res Int, 2014;2014:296053
The aim of the study was the evaluation of myorelaxant
action of bee venom (BV) ointment compared to placebo. Parallel group,
randomized double blinded trial was performed. Experimental group patients were
applying BV for 14 days, locally over masseter muscles, during 3-minute
massage. Placebo group patients used vaseline for massage. Muscle tension was
measured twice (TON1 and TON2) in rest muscle tonus (RMT) and maximal muscle
contraction (MMC) on both sides, right and left, with Easy Train Myo EMG
(Schwa-medico, Version 3.1).
Reduction of muscle tonus was statistically relevant in BV group and irrelevant in placebo group. VAS scale reduction was statistically relevant in both groups: BV and placebo. Physiotherapy is an effective method for myofascial pain treatment, but 0,0005% BV ointment gets better relief in muscle tension reduction and analgesic effect.
