Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Each patient was seen by the rheumatologist who did the following; Full history taking including special habits like chewing gums or biting nails, Pain level measured by visual analogue scale 100 (both at rest and during temporomandibular joint movement) Clinical Examination of the temporomandibular joint including localized tenderness and amount of mouth opening After that the patients were prescribed the rehabilitation program in the form of heat modalities and Transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation on the on the temporomandibular joint, given an individual demonstration of the home based exercises and were given a reminding handout.

The rehabilitation program consisted of the following exercises: lateral deviation, protrusion/retraction and mandibular opening.

Isometric cervical muscle strengthening exercises were also prescribed for the patients.

Assessment of the severity of temporomandibular joint affection using the Fonseca's questionnaire were done twice; the first at the entry point to the study and once again after 6 months.
