Brief Summary

Temporomandibular disorder or TMD is characterized by a set of symptoms such as: pain, decreased range of motion and joint noise. It's origin is multifactorial, which may be related to biological aspects, environmental and psychosocial. The multimodal approach has been widely used in physiotherapy for the treatment of TMDs. Physiotherapy has been walking together with technology so that telerehabilitation can be a reality, contributing so that quality care reaches the patient, in the impossibility office-to-face service. The objective of this study is to verify the effect of telerehabilitation on pain outcomes, range of motion, functionality and biopsychosocial aspects in individuals with temporomandibular disorders. Will be a randomized, controlled and blinded clinical trial was carried out. The study will be divided into two moments: evaluation and intervention. Evaluations will be carried out using the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders: Clinical Protocol and Assessment Instruments (DC/TMD), the Fonseca Anamnesis Index (IAF), the Numerical Pain Scale (END) and the Functional Limitation Questionnaire (MFIQ). Individuals will be randomized into 2 groups: Group A (in person) Group B (telerehabilitation). Both groups will receive treatment physical therapy for 12 weeks. After collecting the data, they will be tabulated and analyzed using a 5% significance level.
