The goal of this clinical trial is to compare effects of Rocabado exercises which is conventional physiotherapy treatment alone vs. combine it with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) in people with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) with forward head posture. The main question aims to answer: - Does adding neck and jaw PNF techniques to the treatment affect the pain and functional status of the jaw compared to Rocabado exercises alone? Participants will be randomized into two groups (Group 1: only Rocabado exercises, Group 2: Rocabado + PNF) and perform 8 weeks long exercises. They will be assessed in the beginning of the study and at the end of the 8th week.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Jaw Range of Motion (PMO) | Painless mouth opening (PMO) is a test in which the individual's maximum capacity to open her/his mouth without pain is measured in cm with a ruler. | 8 weeks | |
Primary | Jaw Range of Motion (MMO) | Maximum mouth opening (MMO) is an outcome measure measured in cm in which the person opens their mouth to the maximum extent they can. | 8 weeks | |
Primary | Jaw Range of Motion (MAMO) | Maximum assisted mouth opening (MAMO) is the maximum amount of opening that a person's mouth is forced to open with the help of the hand. | 8 weeks | |
Primary | Pain Intensity | The person will be asked to mark the degree of pain he/she feels around the jaw on a ruler divided from 0 to 10 at equal intervals. According to VAS, 0 means "no pain" and 10 means "pain as bad as possible." | 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Pressure Pain Threshold | Pressure pain threshold is measured by the physiotherapist with a hand algometer (TMD/RDC) in the examination form, including M. Temporalis (posterior, middle, anterior parts), M. Masseter (origo, body, insertion), posterior mandibular region and under the mandible, and M. sternocleidomastoideus and It will be measured on M. trapezius. The algometer will be applied vertically to the most painful point, increasing the pressure by 1kg/cm2 every three seconds until the patient feels pain, and the pressure value at which the pain begins will be recorded. 3 measurements will be made at 60-second intervals and the average value will be accepted as the pain threshold. | 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Functionality | The 8-item jaw functional limitation scale (JFLS-8) will be used to assess functionality. Each participant will be asked to report the level of restriction he or she has experienced for each of the eight items on the scale in the past month. Individuals will be told that the number "0" on the 10 cm horizontal line is no restriction and the number "10" is "severe restriction." Limitations in functionality will be determined by averaging each participant's responses. | 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Mandibular Functionality | The MFIQ is designed to assess the patient's perception of mandibular dysfunction. It consists of 17 items and a 5-point Likert scale is presented for each item. On this scale, the patient can indicate how much difficulty he or she has performing a particular mandibular movement or task. Likert scale scores; 0, no difficulty; 1, some difficulty; 3, very difficult; 4 means very difficult or impossible without help. The MFIQ also consists of a scoring range from 0 to 68. Here 0 indicates no mandibular dysfunction. | 8 weeks |
