Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Rehabilitation Program
Participants will be given a structured exercise program to be performed in person 3 days a week for 6 weeks.
Exercise Program
Participants will be given a structured exercise program to be performed in person 3 days a week for 6 weeks. The traditional program will include soft tissue relaxation exercises applied to the masseter and temporalis muscles following breathing exercises, controlled jaw opening and closing, jaw lateralization exercises, motor control targeting the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles, isometric strengthening, and stretching techniques. Additionally, exercises for the gradual stabilization of the cervical region and posture exercises will be added. The exercises will be performed three times a week under the supervision of a physical therapist.
Rehabilitation Program with Diadynamic Current
In addition to the rehabilitation program, participants will receive diadynamic current therapy during each session.
Diadynamic current therapy applied in conjunction with exercise
In addition to the exercise program, the experimental group will complete a total of 12 minutes of treatment per session using three different modes of diadynamic current therapy in sequence. Among the current parameters used, the diphase fixe and long-period modes will be applied at the sensory threshold level for four minutes each, while the courtes-period mode will be applied for four minutes at the motor threshold level, at an intensity that will cause short muscle contractions. The application will be performed on the anterior temporalis and masseter muscles, which are located in areas adjacent to the temporomandibular joint and contain painful or myofascial trigger points identified by palpation. Round adhesive electrodes will be used for the surface electrode application.
