Effect of Chronic Low Back Pain Treatment on Temporomandibular Disorder"

Summary

According to the information obtained from clinical studies, it has been stated that Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) is associated with chronic low back pain (LBP). In this study, participants will be divided into two groups. Only Rocabado's exercise will be given to the Rocabado's group (RG), and Rocabado's and therapeutic lumbar exercises will be given to the therapeutic group (TG). Warm-up exercises will be given before starting the exercises with the therapeutic group, and cool-down exercises will be given after the exercises with the therapeutic group. At the end of the sixth week, the effect of therapeutic lumbar exercises on TMD pain and function will be evaluated.

Conditions

• Chronic Low-back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Therapeutic Group

Pelvic tilt exercise:Participant will be supine position on the floor with your knees bent. Flatten your back against the floor by tightening your abdominal muscles and bending your pelvis up slightly. Lumbar flexion(single knee to chest): Participants will be supine position with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. The right knee will be brought closer to your chest and held with the hands. Lumbar flexion(double knee to chest) : Participants will be supine position with both legs flat on the floor. One hip and knee will be bent first to the chest, then the other to the chest. The knees will be grasped with the hands. Straight Leg Raise: Participants will be supine position with hips and legs comfortably on the floor. By contracting the quadriceps muscle the straight leg will be fixed. Inhaling slowly, the straight leg will be lifted six inches off the floor. Spine twist: Participants will turn their hips and knees to one side as much as possible in a supine position.

OTHER

Rocabado's Group

Rest position of tongue: Making a 'clucking' sound positions the tongue against the hard palate in the correct resting position for appropriate nasal and diaphragmatic breathing. Once the activity is practiced, the patient is to attempt to maintain appropriate tongue / jaw resting position throughout normal activity. Shoulder retraction:Sitting up nice and tall, squeeze your shoulder blades back and together. Stabilized head posture:Place your hands behind your hand with fingers interlocked.Gently bring head forward with gentle overpressure from hands.Axial extension of the neck: Sitting up nice and bring your chin backward as if trying to make a double chin. Rotation control of temporomandibular joint: Place tongue at the roof of your mouth just behind your front teeth and place fist underneath chin. Gently open mouth into fist and hold for a few seconds. Rhythmic stabilization:Patients apply resistance to opening, closing, and lateral deviation with the jaw in a resting position.
