Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Myofascial pain alone covers 45.3% of the diagnosis of TMJ. It is defined as palpation sensitivity and regional muscle pain. Clinically muscle pain connects to myofascial trigger points.These trigger points are hypersensitive points located in a tense band of the skeletal muscle, which can be described, causing provoked or spontaneous pain. They are divided into two as active and latent. Those who cause spontaneous pain are active, and those who provoke pain are considered latent.Spasm in the chewing muscles with myofascial pain reduces the patient's pain threshold and quality of life.

Therefore, patients with spasm and TMJ pain in the masticatory muscles should be examined for head and neck muscles, the presence of myofascial trigger points should be determined and the head and neck muscles should be included in physical therapy.

The aim of this study was to determine the presence of myofascial trigger points in patients presenting with pain in the masticatory muscles and TMJ region, and to determine the relationship between the presence of trigger point and the degree of pain.
