Summary

The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of Manual Therapy Based on the Fascial Distortion Model in individuals with temporomandibular disorders compared to sham control. Individuals diagnosed with temporomandibular disorder will be randomly assigned to groups as Group 1 (Manual Therapy Based on Fascial Distortion Model) and Group 2 (Sham Control). Head posture, cervical and temporomandibular joint range of motion, cervical muscle performance, pain intensity, pressure pain thresholds, temporomandibular disorder severity, disability, dysfunction, health-related quality of life, kinesiophobia, and central sensitization will be assessed.

Conditions

  • Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD)
  • Manual Therapy
  • Fascial Distortion

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Fascial Distortion Model

The following techniques were used on the cranial and cervical areas during therapy: Trigger band technique, herniated trigger point technique, continuum technique, folding technique, cylinder technique, and tectonic technique.

PROCEDURE

Sham treatment

The techniques in the therapy will be applied by imitating the techniques in the therapy for the fascial distortions determined according to the Manual Therapy Based on the Fascial Distortion Model.
