Intraoral Versus Extraoral Manual Therapy in Subjects With Temporomandibular Disorders
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Intraoral manual therapy: Six intraoral manual therapy sessions based on ischemic compression and pain pressure release of the temporomandibular region muscles, applied bilateral.
Extraoral manual therapy: Six extraoral manual therapy sessions based on ischemic compression, pain pressure release and pressure sliding of the temporomandibular region muscles, applied bilateral.
Exercise and counselling: Information about etiology, contributing and related factors, natural history and prognostic of the pathology of temporomandibular disorders. Counselling based on: diet, habits like tabacism, stress and anxiety control, physical activity and awareness of dental clenching.
