Temporomandibular joint dysfunction is described as a multifactorial disease and can be directly linked to other diseases, being of structural factors of the Stomatognathic System or not, such as fibromyalgia. Studies show the interconnection of Temporomandibular Dysfunctions with fibromyalgia. Thus, this project aims to evaluate the effect of Phototherapy on fibromiálgicos patients with temporomandibular dysfunction This is a Randomized, Controlled and double-blind, with the intention to treat. In this way the sample of 61 patients with Fibromyalgia, Temporomandibular joint Dysfunction associated with ages between 35 to 58 years, females who are selected after the inclusion/exclusion criteria, will be randomly distributed in homogeneous groups and the placebo group (P), Phototherapy (FT) group, group of physical activity (A) aerobic and aerobic physical activity + Phototherapy Group (FT + A). Will be used as a means of analysis before and after interventions the following parameters: Pain: clinical evaluation, evaluation of pain by Visual analog scale of pain (EVA), McGill Pain Questionnarire and pressure Algometria. Still we will evaluate the dosage of serotonin, indirectly, by saliva. Quality of life: own illness as questionnaires FIQ (Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire), Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey SF-36 and also will assess the quality of sleep, with polysomnography. The treatments will total in 10 sessions held twice a week, and the FT and FT + groups to receive Phototherapy enforcement will be used a portable cluster 9 diodes, where will be delivered 39.3 Joules in tender points of fibromyalgia and TMJ, groups and FT + to carry out aerobic activity in 75% of your MHR for 50 min and the P group will receive the application of Phototherapy of 0 Joules (IE, the equipment does not emit any power). Statistical analysis will be compared using the t test intra-group-Student, one-tail and paired and can be used the Kruskal-Wallis test, the statistical analysis of significance 0.05 for both tests.
