Introduction Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are principally characterised by pain in the craniomandibular area and probable limitations of jaw opening. Manual therapy, like other recommended conservative treatments included clinical guidelines, is commonly used to treat patients with TMD reduce improve function. However, outcomes may be variable. The aim this study identify predictors associated reduction following manual therapy analysing a combination patient-reported outcome measures...
Clinical guidelines recommend conservative treatment for the management of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and manual therapy (MT) is commonly applied to reduce pain improve function. To identify predictors reduction functional improvement following a program therapies (MTP) in patients with TMD develop first screening tool that could be used clinical practice facilitate decision-making. A cohort 102 adults diagnosis were treated four weekly sessions within MTP craniomandibular...
Clinical guidelines recommend conservative treatment for the management of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and manual therapy directed to structures is commonly applied reduce pain improve function. In a recent prospective study, we developed clinical prediction tool based on an array predictors identify people with TMD who are likely experience significant relief functional improvements following programme therapies (MTP) structures. The purpose this study externally validate in...
