[The effect of ultrasonic therapy in rheumatoid arthritis of the temporomandibular joint].
The mouth opening distance, the joint pressure sensitiveness and the biting strength have been measured. In the treated group all three examined parameters showed significant improvement while in the placebo group two parameters (pressure sensitiveness and mouth opening distance) changed significantly. The placebo effect collateral to the real therapeutic effect is not a rare phenomenon in physico-therapy. However, the real effect of the physico-therapeutic treatment can be judged only by means of double blind examination.
