Online or group physiotherapy versus one-on-one physiotherapy for jaw (TMD) muscle pain

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This project compares three treatment formats—individual physiotherapy, group physiotherapy, and online physiotherapy—for patients with myalgia related to temporomandibular disorders. Treatments include manual therapy and active exercises, with individual physiotherapy representing the current gold standard. Adults with myalgia and without systemic rheumatic disease, prior jaw surgery, or trauma are eligible. Interventions are delivered through Semmelweis University and Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Hospital in Budapest to determine whether group or online care can match one-on-one outcomes.
