What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

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.
