Effects of Mulligan Mobilization in Comparison With Maitland Mobilization in Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction


Sponsor

Foundation University Islamabad

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Sep 5, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The temporomandibular joint dysfunction is the second most common musculoskeletal pain after back pain, causing jaw pain, restricted movement, and joint sounds. NPRS and millimeter ruler will be used for the assessment of patient. This study will compare the effects of Mulligan and Maitland mobilization, commonly used treatment, on pain and Temporomandibular joint mobility through a randomized controlled trial, involving 30 participants divided into two groups for treatment.

Interventions

PROCEDUREMulligan Mobilization

Both Mulligan and Maitland mobilization techniques with Myofascial release of temporalis and masseter and Rocabado 6\*6 exercise program are applied over a two-week period with six sessions in total, focusing on improving TMJ mobility and reducing pain. Group A Mulligan mobilization emphasizes active patient involvement combined with therapist-applied glides, including lateral, anterior, medial, and distraction glides performed for 5-10 seconds with 3-5 repetitions per session. These techniques enhance mouth opening, lateral deviation, protrusion, and joint space while reducing stiffness and pain. And baseline treatment of myofascial release of temporalis and masseter muscle and Rocabado's 6\*6 exercise program

PROCEDUREMaitland Mobilization

Group B-Maitland mobilization relies on graded oscillatory movements (Grades I-III) for 5-10 seconds with 3-5 oscillations, targeting pain relief and mobility in the pain-free range. Lower grades (I-II) are used for acute pain with gentle oscillations, while higher grades (II-III) provide moderate mobilization to improve protrusion, lateral deviation, and joint capsule mobility. And baseline treatment of myofascial release of temporalis and masseter muscle and Rocabado's 6\*6 exercise program.
