Core strengthening (also known as abdominal strengthening) is a fundamental element of physical therapy that engages deep and superficial trunk musculature to enhance postural control and functional performance. Protocols such as the Shirley Sahrmann progression have demonstrated increased activation of key core stabilizing muscles. Emerging evidence suggests a potential relationship between core stability training and reductions in TMD-related pain, though improvements in functional outcomes remain inconclusive. Biomechanical links between the pelvic floor, spine, and temporomandibular joint further support the rationale for core-focused interventions. Nevertheless, few studies have isolated the effects of core strengthening on TMD symptomatology. This study seeks to determine whether the integration of core stability exercises into TMD management can reduce pain, improve function, and enhance quality of life.",[27,28,29,30],"Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction","TMD","TMJ Internal Derangement","Myofascial Pain",[32,33,34],"Core strengthening","physical therapy","RCT","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-11-07",{"date":38,"type":39},"2025-11-10","ACTUAL",{"date":41,"type":21},"2025-11-01",{"date":43,"type":21},"2027-01-31",{"name":45,"class":46},"Loyola University","OTHER",1,{"id":49,"slug":50,"hasResults":11,"nctId":51,"briefTitle":52,"officialTitle":53,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":54,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":4,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":55,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":57,"phases":4,"briefSummary":58,"conditions":59,"keywords":60,"overallStatus":35,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":65,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":66,"startDateStruct":68,"completionDateStruct":70,"leadSponsor":72,"locationsCount":4},"100570908","us-vs-mri-in-diagnosis-of-tmj-internal-derangement-100570908","NCT06713356","US Vs MRI in Diagnosis of TMJ Internal Derangement","Ultrasonographic Assessment in Comparison to MRI in Diagnosis of TMJ Internal Derangement","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients showing signs of TMJ internal derangements\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* contraindications for MRI such as claustrophobia, heart pacemaker and metallic foreign body carriers.\n* patients in which the misaligned images or distortions due to motion artifacts made the interpretation of the MRI unreliable.\n* Previously operated TMJ.",{"count":56,"type":21},39,"OBSERVATIONAL","Compare the accuracy of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint internal derangements.",[29],[61,62,63,64],"MRI","US","TMJ","internal derangement","2024-11-27",{"date":67,"type":39},"2024-12-03",{"date":69,"type":21},"2024-12",{"date":71,"type":21},"2026-01",{"name":73,"class":46},"Assiut University"]
