Clinical Trial Summary

It is planned to examine the relationship between quality of life in patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction and the patient's individual, physical and psychosocial characteristics.

Description:

A recent study showed that individuals with TMD have a lower quality of life than healthy controls. In addition, it was determined in the study that investigating the quality of life is insufficient. Future studies should search for psychosocial aspects related to TMD. The aim of this study is to individual the physical and psychosocial characteristics of individuals with Axis I TMD and examine their relationship with quality of life.
