Effectiveness of the Fascial Distortion Model in Temporomandibular Disorders: A Randomized Sham-controlled Trial
Investigation of the Effectiveness of Manual Therapy Based on Fascial Distortion Model in Individuals With Temporomandibular Disorder: A Randomized Sham-controlled Trial
Karabuk University
30 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of Manual Therapy Based on the Fascial Distortion Model in individuals with temporomandibular disorders compared to sham control. Individuals diagnosed with temporomandibular disorder will be randomly assigned to groups as Group 1 (Manual Therapy Based on Fascial Distortion Model) and Group 2 (Sham Control). Head posture, cervical and temporomandibular joint range of motion, cervical muscle performance, pain intensity, pressure pain thresholds, temporomandibular disorder severity, disability, dysfunction, health-related quality of life, kinesiophobia, and central sensitization will be assessed.

Exclusion Criteria7
- Has a systemic disease (neurological, rheumatologic, oncologic, etc.) that may affect the temporomandibular joint, cervical spine and/or assessment
- Any history of trauma that may have affected the cranio-cervico-facial region
- Having undergone any surgical intervention in the cranio-cervico-facial region within the last six months

Interventions
The following techniques were used on the cranial and cervical areas during therapy: Trigger band technique, herniated trigger point technique, continuum technique, folding technique, cylinder technique, and tectonic technique.
The techniques in the therapy will be applied by imitating the techniques in the therapy for the fascial distortions determined according to the Manual Therapy Based on the Fascial Distortion Model.
