Statistical analysis of the mandibular mobility range in the treatment groups before (left side) and after (right side) therapy and the control group. Legend: MTM_TE – manual therapy (massage) and therapeutic exercises; MTPIR_TE – manual therapy (PIR) and therapeutic exercises; TE – therapeutic exercises; control – control group. symnum.args a list of arguments to pass to the function symnum for symbolic number coding of p-values. For example, symnum.args <—list(cutpoints = c(0, 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.05, 1), symbols = c(“****”, “***”, “**”, “*”, “ns”)). In other words, we use the following convention for symbols indicating statistical significance: ns: p > 0.05*: p <  = 0.05; **: p <  = 0.01; ***: p <  = 0.001; ****: p <  = 0.0001
