Most studies involving acupuncture as therapeutic method were carried out with female samples, due to the high prevalence of TMD in this gender 16,33,35,36 .

Some more recent studies evaluating the effects of acupuncture in TMD 16,[22][23][24]31,34,35,38 , and published in the last five years, are described in table 1. There is no standard clinical protocol to select points used in each treatment.…”
