Summary

Individuals with temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) may experience changes in muscle activation as a result of symptoms such as pain and limitation of movement. The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of manual therapy electromyographically in patients with TMD.

Conditions

  • Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction

Interventions

OTHER

Manual Therapy

Upper cervical spine mobilization Posterior-anterior mobilization of the fifth cervical vertebra Suboccipital inhibition Suboccipital mobilization Trigger point application to my masseter, temporal and sternocleidomastoid muscles Intraoral and extraoral myofascial release Intraoral sphenopalatine ganglion technique TMJ mobilization Massage for chewing muscles The 45-minute treatment program, which includes applications including the techniques above, will be applied to the patients randomly assigned to the study group once a week for a total of 4 weeks.The changes in muscle activity of the masseter and anterior temporalis bilaterally will be recorded with EMG.
