An interventional study of POSTERIOR MOBILIZATION and CAUDAL MOBILIZATION in Temporomandibular Disorders, sponsored by Universidade Federal do Ceara. Completed at 1 site in Brazil. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 50 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-09-07.

The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex joints in the individual. It is composed of the mandibular condyle is positioned within the glenoid fossa of the temporal bone, and the articular disk that separates these two bones. The normal biomechanics of the TMJ is the concave / convex relationship between the condyles and the articular disc. The movements of the TMJ joint are: mandibular depression and elevation (opening and closing of the mouth), mandibular protrusion and retraction, and lateral deviations. The DTM is a musculoskeletal disorder of the masticatory system that affects over 25% of the population. Physical therapy can be adopted this treatment in order to relieve musculoskeletal pain, reduce inflammation and restore normal motor functions. The physical therapy interventions taken include electrotherapy, exercise therapy, acupuncture and manual therapy. Overall objective is to assess the immediate effects of previous mobilization versus flow amplitude of mandibular depression in patients with temporomandibular dysfunction. The type of study will be a randomized study of two parallel groups balanced distribution (1: 1) and double-blind. The research will be conducted in the Laboratory of Human Movement Analysis of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Medicine, Federal University of Ceará. The study population will consist of residents in the city of Fortaleza-CE individuals who voluntarily seek to participate in the study due to symptoms of TMD. Data, anthropometry, application of Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders will be collected. The physiotherapist responsible for the assessment before and after the interventions will be blind with respect to the distribution of the treatment groups. The patient will also be blind, because you will not know whether or caudal anterior mobilization was performed. Randomization codes are generated by computer using Random Allocation Software (version 1.0.0) at a ratio of 1: 1 by a researcher not involved in the data collection. These codes will be placed in sealed, opaque envelopes being numbered consecutively, which will ensure the covert allocation of study participants. Our data are considered confidential as joint property of the parties involved.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patient supine on the gurney, previously trained physiotherapist with disposable gloves, one hand place your thumb on the lower lateral incisors and canines. Applies a force previous distraction grade III and performs oscillating for 1 minute.
Procedure: CAUDAL MOBILIZATION
Patient supine on the gurney, previously trained physiotherapist with disposable gloves, one hand place your thumb on the lower molars of patients. Apply simultaneous flow and force the previous direction, and performs the degree of oscillation III for 1 minute.

Mandibular range of motion
The caliper is a measuring instrument that inform the millimetric values of mandibular depression, as measured the distance between the edges of the incisors of the maxilla and mandible. Three measurements of the active mouth opening will be held, where the individual experiencing pain, the measurement will be the beginning of it, if he does not feel pain, be gauged from the maximum amplitude of movement. Soon after the arithmetic mean of the measurements will be made.
Time frame: Five minutes after mobilization
Pain Intensity
Numeric Ratig Scale for Pain - 0 (no pain) and 10 (worst pain)
Time frame: Five minutes after mobilization
