Comparing the Effectiveness of Online vs. Face-to-face Physiotherapy for Treating Temporomandibular Disorders
Comparing the Effectiveness of Online vs. One-on-one vs. Group Physiotherapy for Treating Myogenic Temporomandibular Disorders: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Semmelweis University
90 participants
Mar 1, 2026
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Dentists and physiotherapists have two options for treating these conditions: splint therapy and physiotherapy. Right now, the gold standard is individual physiotherapy, which contains manual therapy and active exercises too. Since not many dentists and physiotherapists are experts in this area, patients have to wait for months or even years to get their treatment. Thanks to social media, patients can find many information about their condition while they are waiting, but it's our responsibility to provide safe and effective information. In view of this situation, our aim is to find out if online or group physiotherapy is as effective as individual physiotherapy.
