Abstract / Excerpt:
We appreciate being given an opportunity to respond to the concerns expressed by Dr. Marilyn Moffat, President of the American Physical Therapy Association. Dr. Moffat takes us to task for having conducted a strict review of the literature in which we included only those studies that used control groups. We were surprised at Dr. Moffat’s comments, as our mandate was to present “the results from rigorous and methodologically sound clinical trials and studies published in peer reviewed journals.” This was explained very clearly by James Lipton in the introduction to this series of articles,
which were part of the Health Technology Assessment Conference on Management of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD), sponsored by the National Institute of Dental Research and the National Institutes of Health Office of Medical Applications of Research.
