<div>The authors found limited, emerging evidence regarding the use of the PMNR for individuals with neurodevelopment disorders or OMD. Evidence showed that PMNR may relieve symptoms of OMD or speech and articulation difficulties.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>Limitations of this review include a lack of overall evidence regarding the use of PMNR due to heterogeneity between studies, significant risk of bias, reduced methodological rigor, and lack of high quality evidence with a preponderance of case report designs for included studies (14 of 18). Additional research is needed to increase the confidence in the available evidence regarding the use of PMNR.</div>
