The therapeutic effectiveness of EMG biofeedback on muscular relaxation and pain symptomatology has been analysed in a group of 24 dysfunctional patients presenting consecutively at the Prosthesis Department of the Odontostomatological Clinic. A good level of muscular relaxation was achieved in 22 cases; pain symptomatology disappeared totally in 19 and reduced considerably in 3 of 24 patients examined. Therapy failed in 2 cases. The method thus presents unquestionable therapeutic value in dysfunctional patients, particularly in cases with symptomatology that is mainly due to muscular hyperactivity.

Abstract
The therapeutic effectiveness of EMG biofeedback on muscular relaxation and pain symptomatology has been analysed in a group of 24 dysfunctional patients presenting consecutively at the Prosthesis Department of the Odontostomatological Clinic. A good level of muscular relaxation was achieved in 22 cases; pain symptomatology disappeared totally in 19 and reduced considerably in 3 of 24 patients examined. Therapy failed in 2 cases. The method thus presents unquestionable therapeutic value in dysfunctional patients, particularly in cases with symptomatology that is mainly due to muscular hyperactivity.
