An interventional study of Manual therapy and Manual therapy in Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome, sponsored by Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos. Withdrawn. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 25 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-09-27.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of a manual therapy and exercise program, focused on the rehabilitation of cervical function, on clinical signs and mandibular function in subjects with TMD.
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a general term that refers to disorders associated with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the masticatory muscles. Among the main symptoms are pre-auricular pain (in the region of the TMJ) and/or pain in the masticatory muscles.
It's usual to observe that subjects with TMD also present cervical alteration. Beside this, cervical postural alterations produced by muscle tension can influence mandibular position.
The intervention protocol was based on manual therapy, stabilization exercises and stretching.

Exclusion Criteria:
Upper cervical flexion mobilization, C5 central posterior-anterior mobilization, Pressure biofeedback device
Other: Manual therapy · Device: Pressure biofeedback device
The patient was supine with the cervical spine in a neutral position. The therapist brought about a contact of the occipital bone with the first finger and medial aspect of the hand, and other hand over the frontal region of the patient's head. The mobilizing force was delivered by flexing the upper cervical region using a combination of cephalic traction with the occipital hand and caudal pressure with the frontal hand. This technique was applied for 10 minutes
Also known as: Upper cervical flexion mobilization
The patient was prone with the cervical spine in a neutral position. The therapist placed the tips of his thumbs on the posterior surface of the C5 spinous process, while the other fingers rested gently around the patients' neck. This technique was applied for 9 minutes
Also known as: C5 central posterior-anterior mobilization
Device: Stabilizer - Chattanooga Group Inc., Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA The cranio-cervical flexor stabilization exercise was done 10 times holding 10 seconds the flexing position graded through feedback from a pressure biofeedback device
Also known as: Stabilizer
Changing in maximum mouth opening pain free
The clinical signs was based on Research Diagnostic Criteria protocol and it was measured maximum mouth opening pain free using a caliper ((Somet, 150mm, Inox, Czechoslovakia)
Time frame: Before and 5 days follow-up intervetion
Changing of Pain
To evaluate pain it was applied a scale from Research Diagnostic Criteria protocol, that consists of a line scored from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no pain and 10 the worst pain that the subject has experienced, allowing it to check the number that features their pain at the moment.
Time frame: Before and 5 days follow-up intervetion
Changing in Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire -MFIQ
To evaluated mandibular function was used the Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire
Time frame: Before and 5 days follow-up intervetion
