Clinical Trial Summary

Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) consists of a series of multifactorial signs and symptoms that occur in the orofacial region, with pain being the most common symptom. There is a close biomechanical and anatomical relationship between the cervical region and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) through the trigemino-spinal nucleus. Objectives: To comparatively assess the improvement in subjects with TMD when adding cervical manual therapy to a postural treatment. Additionally, to determine if both cervical treatments separately produce changes in the TMJ. Materials and methods: An experimental study of randomized controlled clinical trial type was conducted. The study involved 30 wind instrument players randomly assigned to an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG). After obtaining consent, measurements were taken for maximum mouth opening (MMO), cervical range of motion, and pain threshold to pressure (PTP) in the masseter and temporalis muscles. Both groups underwent active cervical postural treatment for 4 weeks, and the EG additionally received a cervical manual therapy protocol. An initial assessment was conducted before the intervention, and a final assessment was done one week after the last intervention. The statistical program SPSS was used for data analysis.
