简要总结
Individuals with temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) may experience changes in muscle activation as a result of symptoms such as pain and limitation of movement. The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of manual therapy electromyographically in patients with TMD.
详细描述
TMD is a common condition in the community. It may occur due to factors such as trauma, stress, occlusal disorders. Symptoms include pain, limitation in mouth opening, joint voice, postural and psychosocial disorders. TMD/RDC diagnostic criteria are used in the classification of TMD, and accordingly, it is stated that it may originate from the joint, disc and chewing muscles. In the treatment, conservative treatments such as patient education, manual therapy and exercises are applied first.
Manual therapy is an effective physiotherapy method on pain and muscle dysfunctions in musculoskeletal problems. In our study, electromyographic changes of masticatory muscles will be examined by applying manual treatment to the masticatory muscles and cervical region in myofascial TMD patients according to TMD/RC.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
时间窗: Change from initial assessment to 4 weeks after initial assessment.
A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is one of the pain rating scales used for the first time in 1921 by Hayes and Patterson. It is often used in epidemiologic and clinical research to measure the intensity or frequency of various symptoms.

- Maximum Mouth Opening (MMO)(Change from initial assessment to 4 weeks after initial assessment.)
- Functional Limitation Scale of the Jaw-8(Change from initial assessment to 4 weeks after initial assessment.)
