Summary

Introduction: Although there are physiotherapy programs that are widely used in the treatment of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD), there are few studies investigating the effects of home exercises program specifically developed for TMD.

Aim: Investigators aimed to investigate the effect of home exercise program on pain and quality of life in TMD treatment.

Methods: 20 patients were included in our pilot study and were randomised into two groups. Home exercises program and physiotherapy program were applied to the intervention group (n=10; age 31.4±11.2 years), and only physiotherapy program to the control group (n=10, age 35.3±18.1 years). Physiotherapy program included ultrasound (US), Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and exercise. Investigators measured pain with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and quality of life with the Short Form 36 (SF-36) before and after the treatment.
