“…A study in Pakistan showed a 40% prevalence of TMD in young adults [ 5 , 6 ]. The temporomandibular classification is complex as it can be due to masticatory muscles, articular problems, hypermobility syndrome, or displaced disc [ 7 , 8 ]Myogenic TMD is most common affecting 43.5% of cases of TMD, principally characterized by myofascial pain in the pre-aural area and limited jaw mobility [ 9 – 11 ]. Pain is marked by a reduction in blood flow to muscles and muscular activation leading to metabolism by-product accumulation in muscular tissues, causing fatigue and inflammation [ 1 , 12 ].…”

Background Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is a common condition affecting the masticatory muscles and joint mobility. Objectives The primary objective was to compare the effects of massage therapy alone and massage therapy combined with post-isometric relaxation exercises in patients with TMD for pain and maximal mouth opening. Design Assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial. Setting Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Chaudhry Muhammad Akram Dental Hospital, Lahore Medical and Dental Hospital. Subjects Temporomandibular joint disorder patients. Intervention Group A (n = 23) received conventional treatment including massage and therapeutic exercises consecutively for 2 weeks. Group B (n = 23) received post-isometric relaxation technique along with conventional treatment for consecutive 2 weeks. Main measures The main outcome measures were pain and maximal mouth opening. Pain was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and maximal mouth opening (MMO) was measured using the TheraBite Scale. Results Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in pain and MMO scores post-treatment. However, Group B (massage with post-isometric relaxation exercises) showed significantly better outcomes compared to Group A (massage alone). There was a statistically significant difference in post-treatment pain scores (P = 0.000) and MMO scores (P = 0.000) between the two groups. Conclusion The results suggest that massage therapy combined with post-isometric relaxation is more effective than massage therapy alone in managing pain and improving mouth opening in TMD patients. The study provides evidence supporting the use of these therapies in TMD management. Trial registry number NCT05810831. Date of registration/First submission: 15 March 2023.

BackgroundAn integral component of comprehensive temporomandibular disorder (TMD) treatment involves what is commonly referred to in literature as patient counselling or patient education. Despite its importance, a clear definition of the concept is lacking.ObjectivesTo describe the concept of counselling (i.e. what is it, what should it consist of, and when should it be given) through a concept analysis of the literature.Eligibility CriteriaAll papers that include a description of counselling or education for TMD are included.Sources of EvidenceLiterature searches were performed in the electronic databases PubMed, Cinahl, and PsycInfo.Charting MethodsA qualitative analysis was done using the principle‐based concept analysis approach, where descriptions of counselling from the included papers were analysed by the researchers.ResultsA total of 71 articles were included. Based on the qualitative analysis of the included articles and descriptions of counselling, the following content themes were identified: (1) general information on TMD; (2) overuse of the masticatory system; (3) posture education; (4) lifestyle and psychosocial factors; (5) exercise‐ and thermotherapy; and (6) additional information and therapies.ConclusionsA definition and framework of counselling for TMD has been provided, which can be used in the clinic, research, and educational programs.
