Intervention

Drug:
• NSAID
Nimesulide has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Like other NSAIDs it inhibits the action of COX . If prostaglandins can not be further synthesized, so there is no factor able to excite local nociceptors. According to t must be taken regularly for a minimum 2 weeks to achieve appropriate blood concentration.

Device:
• oral appliance
The stabilization appliance used in this study was a removable device for maxillary arch, made of hard acrylic. Appliance was fitted over occlusal and incisal surfaces of the teeth and precisely contacted with the teeth of opposing arch. It provided canine disocclusion of the posterior teeth during eccentric movements.

Other:
• dry needling
Equipment: acupuncture needle 0,6*13 e.g. Dragon Medical Device, Visits schedule:( 1st visit - Day 1st , 2nd visit- 7 days after the 1st, 3rd visit- 7 days after the 2nd)
