Systematic review demonstrates neurophysiological methods improve TMJ dysfunction management, implying more effective treatments.

The study aims to systematize scientific data on neurophysiological diagnostic methods for TMJ dysfunction and occlusal disorders.
Conducted a systematic search following PRISMA guidelines in multiple databases from 2020–2026.
Assessed methodological quality using the Cochrane RoB 2 tool.
Analyzed data from randomized controlled trials and original clinical research.
Surface electroneuromyography is the most accessible method for identifying hypertonicity and muscle coordination issues.
Ultrasonic elastography shows high sensitivity to muscle structural changes correlating with chronic pain severity.
fMRI confirms central sensitization in TMD and positive outcomes from orthopedic rehabilitation, especially in implant prosthetics.

Saperova et al. (2026) studied this question.
