What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an exercise protocol can improve temporomandibular pain, jaw function and muscle mechanical properties in individuals with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). This study focuses on patients who are already receiving occlusal splint therapy. The main question it aims to answer is: How does the addition of an exercise protocol to occlusal splint therapy affect temporomandibular pain, jaw function and muscle mechanical properties of the masticatory and neck muscles? Researchers will compare the group receiving both occlusal splint therapy and the exercise protocol to a group only occlusal splint therapy to see if the combined approach is more effective. Participants will: * Undergo an initial assessment of the Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-20 (JLFS-20), Craniofacial Pain and Disability Inventory (CF-PDI), Graded Chronic Pain Scale Version
