The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a home exercise program on individuals with temporomandibular joint disc displacement with reduction. Participants will be assessed at baseline and again after a four-week home exercise program.

Detailed Description

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

Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomly divided into 2 groups. The first group, called the study group, will receive a home exercise program and patient education. The second group, called the control group, will receive only patient education. Participants will be assessed at baseline and again after a four-week home exercise program.
