Abstract:
This pilot study evaluated the effectiveness of an online physiotherapy exercise program in people with temporomandibular joint disc dislocation. Adults with a clinical diagnosis participated, divided into a control and intervention group for 4 weeks. Joint popping, jaw pain, mouth opening and chewing were assessed. Although no statistically significant differences were found between groups, possibly due to the small sample size, the intervention group showed a trend towards improvement. It is concluded that the program was not effective, although the results suggest potential utility for future research in the physiotherapeutic treatment of this dysfunction.
