Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effect of Gold Fish exercises and cervico-thoracic postural correction training in patients with temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction to improve pain, ROM and maximum mouth opening of jaw.


Clinical Trial Description

Goldfish Exercise works on the principle of pulsatile motion of Goldfish in water & thereby imitating the same motion for health benefits. It can be thought of stretching the fibrous bands, reducing TMJ stiffness & resulting in improvement of mouth opening. It would be beneficial to use this technique on daily basis and as far there are no contraindications of this exercise because it's done within the pain limits & further progression depends on the mouth opening of the patient. Posture can affect the three-dimensional movement of the jaw during opening which is seen most clearly in the slumped posture as reduced maximal mouth opening. While mouth opening and head extension are linked, there is variability in the amount of head extension when opening wide and the relationship between head extension and mouth opening is negated when opening in a slumped posture. This has implications for the association of neck dysfunction, posture, and temporo-mandibular joint disorder which should be explored further. ;
