Summary

Myofascial pain is a regional muscle pain condition characterized by hard local areas and tender bands, known for the presence of trigger points in muscle tissue. The treatment is to eliminate the etiologic factor. Regular exercise is recommended to relieve the trigger points. Occlusal splints, considered the gold standard in the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders, are used to manage and control symptoms. In this study, patients between the ages of 18-45 years who applied to Çukurova University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Prosthodontics with the complaint of myofascial pain and scored above 40 on the central sensitization scale will be taken as a sample.
