Abstract:
This article is relevant, as most healthy women face the problem of increased facial muscle tone. The purpose of the study was to investigate current problems of the relationship between tonic activity of the facial muscles and psycho-emotional states. The study included a group of 151 women subjected to psychological testing. According to its results, they were randomized into five study groups depending on sex and age. The frequency and severity of psycho-emotional states and parameters of tonic activity of the facial muscles were studied. Currently accepted methods for the correction of psycho-emotional states based on the feedback mechanism were analyzed. The efficacy of myofascial facial massage as an instrument for psychological status correction was evaluated. The long-term effects of various massage techniques aimed at facial muscle relaxation on the psycho-emotional state were established. The most effective tools for muscle tone correction were proposed for psycho-emotional status correction.

Relaxation of Skeletal Muscles
When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated sodium channels. Sodium ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane. This depolarization causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open....

Centrally Acting Muscle Relaxants: Therapeutic Uses
Centrally acting drugs are classified into spasmolytic and antispasmodic drugs. Spasmolytic drugs such as baclofen, diazepam, and tizanidine inhibit spinal motor neurons and decrease muscle tone. Spasmolytic drugs are administered for severe and chronic spasms due to multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke, and spinal cord and muscle injuries. However,...
