This study is aiming to investigate the effect of magnetic therapy in combination with traditional physical therapy on the pain and mouth opening, after facial penetrating wound injury with no facial fractures, that treated conservatively

Exclusion Criteria:
Control group patients received traditional physical therapy treatment. The traditional physical therapy treatment program consisted of TMJ mobilization techniques include distraction, anterior glide, anterior glide with pre-positioned mouth opening, medial/lateral glides, caudal-anterior-medial (CAM) glide, and CAM glide with pre-positioned mouth opening and isometric exercises against resistance for muscles of mastication.
Other: TMJ physical therapy program
Study group patients received PEMFT, using EMG 8400 PEMF device (made in Italy, by EME) in addition to physical therapy treatment program.
Device: Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy (PEMFT)
PEMFT was connected to electrical mains supplying 220v. Pair of applicators sized 16x10x3 cm was adjust to be over TMJ, on both sides of the face; the appliance was adjusted to the frequency of 50 HZ and intensity of 90 Gauss. Twelve PEMF treatment sessions of 30 min duration were provided 3 times per week TMJ mobilization techniques and isometric exercises against resistance for muscles of mastication
TMJ manual physical therapy program (mobilization and gentle isometric exercises) for 30, 3 times a week, for 4 weeks.
Change in the Maximum mouth opening in millimeter (mm) before and after intervention.
Each participant was asked to open his or her mouth as wide as possible after that the examiner used a digital Vernier caliper to measure the maximum vertical distance from the incisal edge of the upper central incisors to the incisal edge of the lower central incisors at the midline
Time frame: Change between baseline and 4 weeks of treatment measures.
Change in TMJ pain measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain intensity. VAS is a subjective pain measurement method consisting of a straight line of 100 mm on which patients scored their pain intensity where 0 corresponds to no pain and 10 corresponds to the worst maximum pain
Time frame: Change between baseline and 4 weeks of treatment measures.
Plan to share: No — Data will be shared with other researchers upon request and after discussion with the research team
