    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Orofacial dyskinesia involves involuntary muscle contractions.
    • Existing therapies may have limitations in accessibility or ease of use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a treatment technique using electromyographic biofeedback for orofacial dyskinesia.
    • To highlight the practicality of this biofeedback method for patient self-management.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback.
    • Employing electronic equipment designed for simplicity and portability.

    Main Results:

    • Patients can learn to control muscle contractions associated with orofacial dyskinesia.
    • The therapy is practical for home use due to equipment design.

    Conclusions:

    • Electromyographic biofeedback is a viable and practical therapeutic option for orofacial dyskinesia.
    • The simplicity and portability of the equipment enhance patient adherence and self-management.
