Summary

This study evaluates the efficacy of behavioral therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, and biofeedback, in managing Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). It aims to address both the physical and psychological aspects of TMD, focusing on pain reduction, improved jaw function, and alleviating psychological distress such as anxiety and depression. Participants are randomized into two groups: an intervention group receiving behavioral therapy and a control group receiving standard care. Outcomes will be assessed using validated tools to measure pain intensity, jaw function, and psychological well-being at baseline, post-treatment, and at a 6-month follow-up. This research seeks to establish the role of behavioral therapy as a key component in the comprehensive management of TMD.
