Comparative Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Diclofenac Sodium Versus Vitamin D Supplements on Symptoms in Individuals With Myofascial Pain and Vitamin D Deficiency
Abstract
It has been reported in the literature that there is a significant relationship between bruxism and low serum vitamin D levels. It was aimed to compare the effectiveness of diclofenac sodium treatment versus vitamin D supplementation on symptoms in individuals with myofascial pain and vitamin D deficiency.
