It compares two groups:\n\n* Standard care: Routine diagnostic and therapeutic procedures\n* Intervention: Standard care plus a guided art-based tool using paintings to express and discuss the TMD experiences What Is the Art-Based Tool?\n\nThis novel method, called the Artistic Pain Exploration (APE), uses paintings to help patients describe their pain that relates to TMD and its effect on their quality of life:\n\n1. Participants will be shown three paintings (e.g., The Scream by Edvard Munch)\n2. Participants will choose the one that best resonates with them\n3. A guided discussion follows, exploring how the image relates to their physical and emotional pain as well as the effect of pain on their daily activities\n\nResearch Questions:\n\n1. Does using the APE method help participants better communicate and understand their pain?\n2. Does it improve jaw function and reduce anxiety more than standard assessment? Who Can Participate?\n\nParticipants may be eligible if they:\n\n* Are 18 years or older\n* Have early-stage TMD (not needing surgery)\n* Can give informed consent\n\nParticipants cannot participate if they:\n\n* Require jaw surgery\n* Have severe mental illness (e.g., psychosis or bipolar disorder)\n* Take narcotic pain medications regularly What Will Happen During the Study?\n* Participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups.\n* Each participant will complete a standardized questionnaire before and after two weeks to assess the level of anxiety.\n* All participants will be screened for depression via a standardized questionnaire before the first visit.\n* All will undergo a clinical exam to assess the TMJ pain and function and receive appropriate medications and lifestyle instructions.\n* Some participants (intervention group) will also discuss their pain using the artwork.\n* All participants will be seen for a follow up in 2 weeks to assess the TMJ function and pain.\n\nPotential Risks and Discomforts\n\nParticipants may experience:\n\n* Emotional discomfort while discussing pain\n* Mild anxiety during interviews or questionnaires If needed, a psychiatrist on the research team will provide support or referrals.\n\nPotential Benefits\n\n* A better understanding of pain\n* Improved communication with care provider\n* Possible improvement in pain and jaw function\n\nCosts There are no costs to participate. All treatments are provided free of charge.\n\nCompensation \u002F Treatment for Injury\n\n* If participants experience harm from this study, necessary medical care will be provided by the research team.\n* No financial compensation will be provided by King Abdulaziz University.\n\nConfidentiality Participants' identity and medical records will remain confidential. Only approved researchers and auditors will have access to data, in accordance with applicable laws.
