Detailed Description
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a general term that refers to disorders associated with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the masticatory muscles. Among the main symptoms are pre-auricular pain (in the region of the TMJ) and/or pain in the masticatory muscles.
It's usual to observe that subjects with TMD also present cervical alteration. Beside this, cervical postural alterations produced by muscle tension can influence mandibular position.
The intervention protocol was based on manual therapy, stabilization exercises and stretching.
The technique are:.
- Upper cervical flexion mobilization;
- C5 central posterior-anterior mobilization;
- Stabilization exercise: Cranio-cervical flexor stabilization exercise
- Stretching of muscles: upper trapezius, scalenes, semispinalis capitis; splenius capitis, sternocleidomastoid

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Manual therapy
Upper cervical flexion mobilization, C5 central posterior-anterior mobilization, Pressure biofeedback device
|
The patient was supine with the cervical spine in a neutral position.
The therapist brought about a contact of the occipital bone with the first finger and medial aspect of the hand, and other hand over the frontal region of the patient's head.
The mobilizing force was delivered by flexing the upper cervical region using a combination of cephalic traction with the occipital hand and caudal pressure with the frontal hand.
This technique was applied for 10 minutes
Other Names:
The patient was prone with the cervical spine in a neutral position.
The therapist placed the tips of his thumbs on the posterior surface of the C5 spinous process, while the other fingers rested gently around the patients' neck.
This technique was applied for 9 minutes
Other Names:
Device: Stabilizer - Chattanooga Group Inc., Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA The cranio-cervical flexor stabilization exercise was done 10 times holding 10 seconds the flexing position graded through feedback from a pressure biofeedback device

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Changing in maximum mouth opening pain free
Time Frame: Before and 5 days follow-up intervetion
|
The clinical signs was based on Research Diagnostic Criteria protocol and it was measured maximum mouth opening pain free using a caliper ((Somet, 150mm, Inox, Czechoslovakia)
|
Before and 5 days follow-up intervetion
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Changing of Pain
Time Frame: Before and 5 days follow-up intervetion
|
To evaluate pain it was applied a scale from Research Diagnostic Criteria protocol, that consists of a line scored from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no pain and 10 the worst pain that the subject has experienced, allowing it to check the number that features their pain at the moment.
|
Before and 5 days follow-up intervetion

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Changing in Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire -MFIQ
Time Frame: Before and 5 days follow-up intervetion
|
To evaluated mandibular function was used the Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire
|
Before and 5 days follow-up intervetion
