Abstract

Trismus is one of the side effects of methamphetamine use which is associated with contractions of the jaw muscles. Acupuncture is a traditional and complementary treatment that is effective in reducing pain and psychological indices. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the Acupuncture in a case of Trismus caused by methamphetamine abuse. The patient was a 31-year-old man with a history of chronic methamphetamine use, reported to have dependence and severe jaw pain. In a single case study and in an ABAB design with multi-baselines, we used Acupuncture for 3 weeks to reduce pain and Addiction severity index (ASI). Data were analyzed through a generalized estimating equation (GEE). The results showed that there was no significant correlation between severity of Addiction and pain (P > 0. 05). Due to damage caused in the process of production of tyrosine hydroxylase and mitogen-activated protein kinase and the role of these precursors in the production of dopamine as an effective factor in the Acupuncture, the effectiveness of this treatment can be limited.
