Clinical Trial Summary

We aim to compare the effectiveness of MFR and exercise therapy on mobility and function by investigating the effectiveness of the Myofascial Release Technique (MFR), which we will apply to the muscles we choose related to the facial system connection in participants with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) and low back pain.


Clinical Trial Description

We aim to compare the effectiveness of MFR and exercise therapy on mobility and function by investigating the effectiveness of the Myofascial Release Technique (MFR), which we will apply to the muscles we choose related to the facial system connection in participants with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) and low back pain. Method and Material Working group (Group A): Myofascial release technique will be applied. A total of 10 sessions will be applied for 4 weeks, 3 times a week for the first 2 weeks, and 2 times a week for the next 2 weeks. Exercise group (Group B): The stretching exercises that we planned to give to the exercise group were planned for the muscles to which we will apply myofascial technique. • Control group (Group C): No application will be made to the control group. Evaluations will be made at the beginning of the study and at the end of 4 weeks. The evaluation parameters to be used are as follows; Oswestry Low Back Disability Survey, Algometer and Myotonometry. Inclusion Criteria: Participants aged 18-50 years diagnosed with TMD,Persons with a score of 20% or more on the Oswestry waist index, and People with low back pain for more than 3 months,Persons with mechanical low back pain and lumbar disc herniation without neurological deficits will be included in the study.Persons with acute or chronic temporomandibular dysfunction will be included. Exclusion Criteria; Neurological problems,Presence of extruded and sequestered lumbar disc herniation,Cardiovascular symptoms and circulation problems,Infection,Fibromyalgia, Acute arthritis conditions,Those with spinal abnormalities,Fracture history, presence of dislocation / subluxation will be excluded ;
