TWO POINTS FOR INHIBITION OF TEMPORAL MUSCLE DURING BRUXISM
This study (Min Wang et Al). measured the electromyographic (EMG) responses of the temporalis muscle to electrical stimulation at 10 acupuncture points (acupoints) of the face and assessed whether electrical stimulation of these acupoints may improve the rhythmic activity of the muscles that open and close the jaw.
Conclusion of the study :
If the temporalis muscle can be excited or inhibited consistently by electrically stimulating certain facial cutaneous acupoints, they can be selected to aid in treating some common musculoskeletal dysfunctions in the oral-facial system, such as TMD. The present study, for the first time, measured EMG responses of the temporalis muscle to electrical stimulation of 10 selected acupoints of the face. We showed that the temporalis muscle can be effectively excited or inhibited by electrical current stimulation of facial cutaneous acupoints.
YOU CAN STIMULATE THESE POINTS WITH MICRO-CUPPING, Stick etc.

Looking towards the breakwater and entrance to Bayfield marina from Pioneer park. Looks like a crowd gathered down there, strange on such a cold evening. Turned out to be a film crew working on the movie 'Trigger Point', some of which was being filmed in Bayfield.
Trigger point therapy is a manual therapy that helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and increase flexibility by targeting so-called trigger points.
There are some different types of trigger point therapy, which we'll discuss below.
•Friction massage - In this type of Trigger Point Therapy, the therapist applies gentle but firm pressure to the muscles while rotating to ease tension and break up the trigger points in the muscles. So, if you need Trigger Point Therapy in Orlando area. I recommended High Expectation Massage.
• Dry needling - In this type of trigger point therapy, a therapist uses fine needles to penetrate the skin and stimulate the underlying muscles.
• Electrical stimulation - In this type of trigger point therapy, a therapist uses an electrical current to stimulate the muscles and break up the trigger points.
• Myofascial release - This type of trigger point therapy focuses on stretching the muscles to break up the trigger points.
• Hot/cold treatment - This type of trigger point therapy incorporates applying heat or cold to the muscles to reduce inflammation and increase blood flow to the muscles.
• Myofascial therapy - This type of trigger point therapy combines several massage techniques to break up the trigger points in the muscles and restore muscle mobility.
