Brief Summary

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

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.

Detailed Description

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

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.
