Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Group 1: Patient education and exercise group: The patients in this group will be taught an exercise program after general education. Education training program about parafunctional activities of TMD and active exercises for masticatory and neck muscles. Patients will be asked to complete and follow-up home exercises for 30-45 minutes once a day, 5 days a week for 8 weeks. The continuity of the exercises will be ensured by sending reminder messages to this group of patients about doing their exercises once a week by the physiotherapist.
Group 2; Manuel Therapy group: This group will receive the same patient education and exercises additionally manual therapy program which is planned to last 45 minutes will be applied twice a week, for 8 weeks.
Group 3; BETY group: This group will receive the same patient education and exercises in addition BETY approach, which is the Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach treatment, will be applied in 2 sessions a week for 45 minutes and a total of 8 weeks of treatment.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Home Exercise: Patient Education and Preventive Exercise
Group 1: The home Exercise Program includes an educational training program about parafunctional activities and correction exercises for patients having TMD-related headaches. The program includes tongue resting position, diaphragmatic breathing, head posture correction exercises, stretching and strengthening exercises for shoulder and back muscles, and active cervical and thoracic mobilization.
Patient education and preventive exercise
Educational training program and prevention exercises about temporomandibular dysfunction in patients with temporomandibular dysfunction-associated headaches.
Manual Therapy Combined with Home Exercise
Group 2: MT group includes in addition to the home exercise program, deep friction massage, myofascial release techniques and stretching techniques to masticatory and neck muscles, temporomandibular joint and cervical mobilization will be applied.
Patient education, preventive exercise combined with Manual Therapy protocol
Manual therapy program combined with the educational training program and prevention exercise about temporomandibular dysfunction in patients with temporomandibular dysfunction-associated headaches.
Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach Combined with Home Exercise
Group 3: Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach (CETA) includes cognitive exercise therapy and the home exercise program. The Cognitive Exercise Therapy approach is an innovative exercise approach that aims to change the patient's cognition about the disease through exercise and is suitable for the biopsychosocial model. CETA is an exercise approach aimed at changing the patient's cognitive perception of the disease through exercise, placing the responsibility of disease management on the patient. The approach will be explained in the first session, and patients will be taught proper posture for the neck, shoulders, thoracic, and lumbopelvic region, as well as correct breathing control. Each 1-hour session will include a warm-up, exercise period, and cool-down.
