Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if brief mindfulness-based intervention (BMBI) is beneficial to participants suffering from painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The objectives of the research are:

1. To compare physical functioning (pain intensity and jaw function) in UM students with chronic pain-related TMD before and after receiving BMBI
2. To compare psychological distress and mindfulness state in UM students with chronic pain-related TMD before and after receiving BMBI
3. To compare the quality of life of UM students with chronic pain-related TMD before and after receiving BMBI
4. To compare the changes in physical functioning, psychological distress, mindfulness state and quality of life between UM students in the intervention (BMBI) and the control groups.

Participants will:

Listen to the audio recordings 3 times a week, for 3 months when they are about to sleep.

Make 4 visits to the clinic: Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months later.
