Abstract: Background: Myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (MPDS) is a condition in which patients experience symptoms of pain, tenderness of the muscles of mastication, clicking or popping noise in the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), and limitation of jaw function. A variety of therapies have been described in literature for its management. Objectives: The aim of the study was to systematically review the effectiveness of three different treatment modalities i.e., Pharmacological, Physical and Occlusal therapy, in the management of MPDS. Materials and Method: This study was written in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, The PICO format is used to show clinical questions with obvious inclusion criteria. This systematic review search uses an "myofascial of the MeSH browser " and, "trigger points", "myospasms", "myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome", "facial myalgia", and "taut bands". and limited by "Human", "English". An extensive search of literature was performed on database such as MEDLINE, PubMed and Google Scholar. Two reviewers will independently screen articles for inclusion, extract data, assess risk of bias (revised Cochrane risk of bias tool) for included studies. A third reviewer arbitrated in the case of discrepancy of reviewers? opinion following discussion. Result: The result obtained is that the three interventions that is occlusal, pharmacological and physiotherapy are effective in treatment of patient with mpds. Conclusion: The result obtained is that the three interventions are effective in treatment of patient with mpds but further studies should be conducted with large sample size and exclusive comparison between drug, occlusal therapy and physical therapy. This review of treatment in MPS finds that most interventions demonstrate a limited body of evidence for their use.
