Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to either BAT or a standard physiotherapy control intervention for a defined treatment period. Primary outcomes will include pain intensity and jaw functional limitations, while secondary outcomes will assess body awareness, anxiety, stress, and quality of life. Evaluations will be conducted at baseline and post-intervention. The findings of this trial may provide evidence for integrating biopsychosocial and awareness-based physiotherapy into TMD rehabilitation.
