Electroacupuncture for Temporomandibular Disorders: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

Although electroacupuncture (EA) is an effective treatment for pain relief, there has been no systematic review of EA treatment for temporomandibular disorder TMD. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EA in TMD management. We searched 14 databases until April 2021 for...
