RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
Active Comparator: Full Dosage Mode PSE (FDPSE) + MT + ONE Two sessions of 45 minutes (90 minutes) of PSE will be administered. Two protocols of ONE and MT will be administered. The exercises will be administered for six weeks, twice a week. Half of the sessions will include orofacial therapy and exercises and half neck motor control exercises. Each exercise and technique will be administered 10 times for 10 seconds.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Fractioned Pain Science Education + Manual Therapy + Orofacial and Neck Exercises
All participants in this arm will initially receive six sessions in which a workshop on PSE will be administered and discussed. A power-point presentation with metaphors and animated videos will be employed. The PSE program will be held in 6 sessions of 15 minutes each. Two protocols of Orofacial Exercises and Manual Therapy and of Neck Motor Control will be adopted in the present study. The exercises will be administered during six weeks, twice a week. One session will run in the outpatient clinic and the other will be home based. Half of the sessions will consist of orofacial therapy and exercises and the other half neck motor control exercises. Each exercise and technique will be administered 10 times for 10 seconds.
Fractioned Pain Science Education (FPSE)
Pain Science Education (PSE) will be administered in workshop sessions with interactive presentations, using different resources as metaphors and videos. It will be held in 2 sessions of 45 minutes each, covering 6 topics of Explain Pain and Explain Pain Supercharged books.
Manual Therapy
Intraoral temporalis release, Intraoral medial and lateral pterygoid (origin) technique and Intraoral sphenopalatine ganglion technique.
Orofacial and Neck Exercises (ONE)
Orofacial Exercises: Mandibular body-condylar cross-pressure chewing technique; Post-isometric relaxation stretches-laterotrusion and opening (10 times/session; 10 seconds).
Neck Motor Control Exercises: Bracing exercises (6 hierarchical levels - HL). Extreme range of motion exercises (stable spine). Cervical isometric exercises (5 HL) directly forward, obliquely, toward right and left, and directly backward (stable spine - elastic resistive bands). Functional training with elastic resistance and exercise balls on unstable surfaces (8 HJ). The progress in each exercise domain will happen when sustaining the contraction for 10 seconds, 10 times.
