RESUMO:

Introduction: Scalp acupuncture, a form of acupuncture, has been incorporated in the treatment of various pathologies, mainly for the relief of chronic pain. However, there are currently no studies on its use in TMD, the main condition of chronic orofacial pain. Objective: To evaluate the effects of Chinese scalp acupuncture in patients diagnosed with TMD regarding sleep, quality of life and pain. As well, as compare their results to traditional therapies. Methods: Sixty patients diagnosed with TMD through RDC / TMD (Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders) were allocated into four treatment groups: Counseling (CO=15), oclusal splint (SO=15), scalp acupuncture (SA=15) and manual therapy (TM=15). The SA group was conducted in 8 sessions, two per week, for four weeks. After one month of treatment participants were reevaluated. The PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) was applied regarding sleep disorders, World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-bref) regarding quality of life and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain. The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 (Statistical Package for the Social Science) program. Results: The SA group significantly reduced pain-related parameters (p = 0.015), as well as the SO (p = 0.01) and TM (p = 0.014) groups after 30 days of treatment. The SA group also improved sleep through PSQI, however only the SO (p = 0.002) and TM groups (p = 0.029) significantly improved. Regarding WHOQOL the SA group improved the quality of life in all parameters analyzed, but this result was not significant, similar to the other groups in which only the physical domain of WHOQOL significantly improved in the TM group (p = 0.011), as well as the psychological domain in the SO group (p = 0.012). The CO group did not present satisfactory results in the analyzed period. No group was superior to the SA group for the analyzed variables. Conclusion: Craniopuncture provided positive results in short-term TMD patients regarding all variables analyzed, significantly reducing pain. Their results were similar to those of occlusal plate and physiotherapy, and were not inferior to any of the treatments. Therefore, it is a good alternative to conventional treatments. Further studies are needed.
