What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of tele-rehabilitation on individuals suffering from temporomandibular disorders (TMD), which can cause pain and limited movement in the jaw. Utilizing a randomized, controlled, and blinded approach, the trial will assess pain outcomes, range of motion, functionality, and biopsychosocial factors through remote physiotherapy interventions. Participants will receive manual therapy and exercise therapy via telemedicine, aiming to provide effective treatment despite the challenges of in-person consultations.
