SUMMARY: Purpose: To evaluate the effect of an Osteo- pathic treatment protocol on the quality and intensity of pain, mouth opening and general joint function in patients with persistent TMD.
Methodology: 24 patients (17 women - 7 men) aged 18- 62 y.o.a. participated in the study. The patients treated with the osteopathic protocol (8 sessions - 2 times / week), suffered from the disorder for a period of 2-24 months. Data was collected at baseline of the procedure, after the 4th session and after the 8th session.
Results: The treatment protocol showed positive results for pain reduction in NPRS (Numeric Pain Rating Score) (F=213.9, p<0.001) and GROC (Global Rating of Change Score), as well as joint function using the Jaw Functional Limitation Scale (JFLS-20) (F=211.2, p<0.001). Also, for maximum mouth opening (MMO) there was a statistically significant difference between initial and final measurement in both active (F=110.01, p<0.001) and passive (F=129.05, p<0.001) MMO.
