The articular disc of temporomandibular joint and three muscles of the cervico-facial region (temporal, masseter, sternocleidomastoid) are evaluated by means of sonographic images to observe and measure their dimensions' changes after a dry needling intervention. The participants are asymptomatic subjects and will be randomly divided in 2 groups: half of them are treated on the right side of the face, while the other half on the left side. Our hypothesis is that ultrasonography can reveal changes in the structures measured on the treated side.
The trial is designed as a before-and-after study conducted on asymptomatic subjects. The aim is to assess temporomandibular joint and three perimandibular muscles (temporal, masseter, sternocleidomastoid) by means of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging, carried out by a novice clinician. These evaluations are performed before and after a dry needling treatment directed to the tree studied muscles of one side of the face. The side to be treated is randomly assigned by using a computer-generated randomization process, the other side is used as control.
One month after the treatment sonographic images are taken by the novice clinician and by an expert one. The aim is to assess the reliability of ultrasonography comparing the results of their assessments.

|---|---|---|---|
| dry needling group | Experimental | Dry needling treatment on right or left side of the face (depending on randomization) |
|
| control group | No Intervention | No treatment on left or right side of the face (depending on randomization) |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| dry needling | Device | The use of filiform needles to stimulate muscles and connective tissues. The needle is inserted in a direction perpendicular to the skin, a local twitch response is looked for and, once found, the needle is kept in the muscle without moving for 10 seconds. No substances are injected. |

We are not intentioned to share the participant data as our outcomes are subjectively evaluated by the use of ultrasonography. We don't believe it will be helpful for other researches as the results will be interpreted by our assessors.
