Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome

Upper cervical spine mobility plays a crucial role in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function. This observational study investigates the relationship between upper cervical spine mobility and TMJ range of motion in patients diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Cervical hypomobility may restrict mandibular movement and contribute to TMJ dysfunction through shared biomechanical and neuromuscular mechanisms.

The aim of this study is to investigate the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach-Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (BETY-BQ) in individuals with temporomandibular disorder. The following are alternative hypotheses of the study: * BETY-BQ has significant convergence with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 measuring depression. * BETY-BQ has significant convergence with the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 measuring physical symptoms. * BETY-BQ has significant convergence with the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 measuring anxiety. * BETY-BQ has significant convergence with the Short Form-36 measuring quality of life. * BETY-BQ has significant convergence with the Craniomandibular Pain and Disability Inventory measuring disability. * BETY-BQ has significant convergence with the Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire measuring function. * BETY-BQ has significant stability. * BETY-BQ has significant internal consistency.

Temporomandibular disorder or TMD is characterized by a set of symptoms such as: pain, decreased range of motion and joint noise. It's origin is multifactorial, which may be related to biological aspects, environmental and psychosocial. The multimodal approach has been widely used in physiotherapy for the treatment of TMDs. Physiotherapy has been walking together with technology so that telerehabilitation can be a reality, contributing so that quality care reaches the patient, in the impossibility office-to-face service. The objective of this study is to verify the effect of telerehabilitation on pain outcomes, range of motion, functionality and biopsychosocial aspects in individuals with temporomandibular disorders. Will be a randomized, controlled and blinded clinical trial was carried out. The study will be divided into two moments: evaluation and intervention. Evaluations will be carried out using the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders: Clinical Protocol and Assessment Instruments (DC/TMD), the Fonseca Anamnesis Index (IAF), the Numerical Pain Scale (END) and the Functional Limitation Questionnaire (MFIQ). Individuals will be randomized into 2 groups: Group A (in person) Group B (telerehabilitation). Both groups will receive treatment physical therapy for 12 weeks. After collecting the data, they will be tabulated and analyzed using a 5% significance level.

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effects of progressive neck motor control exercises on craniocervical pain, posture, function and kinesiophobia in different types of temporomandibular dysfunction. The secondary aim of the study was to examine the differences between the effects of progressive neck motor control exercises on different types of temporomandibular dysfunction.

This is a one year followup study that aims to assess the efficacy of low level laser therapy (LLLT) on pain, mouth opening and masticatory muscle activity in cases of temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) as compared to soft occlusive splints.

This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of high-intensity laser therapy on the temporalis and masseter muscles activity in patients with myogenic temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
