Differences between protocol and review

The primary outcomes have been resequenced from the order they appear in the published protocol.
(1) Resumption of normal eating, chewing and speech.
(2) Change or improvement in maximal jaw opening, measured as the interincisal distance.
(3) Improvement in range of jaw movement utilising any validated assessment tool.
(4) Change in severity of oral/mucosal burning pain using any recognised validated pain scale.

PICOs

Population
Intervention
Comparison
Outcome

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.

See more on using PICO in the Cochrane Handbook.
