Summary

This is a randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial. The main objective is to evaluate the immediate effect of the mandibular muscle-energy technique on pain, functionality and kinesiophobia in subjects suffering from temporomandibular dysfunction and bruxism.

In the experimental group the jaw muscle-energy technique will be applied and in the control group a placebo technique will be applied. The intention is to see the immediate effects of the intervention and two evaluations of the pre- and post-intervention outcome variables and a follow-up of kinesiophobia one week later will be performed.

Conditions

  • Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
  • Bruxism
  • Pain Threshold
  • Kinesiophobia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Muscle-energy mandibular technique

A single session will be used with the mandibular musculoenergy technique. It will last approximately 2-3 minutes and will be performed by a physiotherapist.

PROCEDURE

Sham technique

A single session with a sham technique simulating the suboccipital muscle inhibition technique will be used. It will last approximately 2-3 minutes and will be performed by a physiotherapist.
