What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach-Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (BETY-BQ) in individuals diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders. Participants will complete various established questionnaires to evaluate aspects such as depression, anxiety, quality of life, and disability. The study will also involve test-retest stability evaluations over a two-week interval and responsiveness assessments at three-month intervals. The goal is to ensure that BETY-BQ is a reliable tool for measuring the biopsychosocial impact of temporomandibular disorders.
