Effects of Mulligan Mobilization in Comparison With Maitland Mobilization in Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction
The temporomandibular joint dysfunction is the second most common musculoskeletal pain after back pain, causing jaw pain, restricted movement, and joint sounds. NPRS and millimeter ruler will be used for the assessment of patient. This study will compare the effects of Mulligan and Maitland mobilization, commonly used treatment, on pain and Temporomandibular joint mobility through a randomized controlled trial, involving 30 participants divided into two groups for treatment.
• Age 19-44 years.
• Both Genders (Male and Female).
• Patients diagnosed with TMJ hypomobility using the Manual Functional Analysis questionnaire based on DC/TMD criteria.
• Individuals with myofascial pain, scoring above 5 on the NRS and pain upon palpation of at least two of eight masticatory and neck muscles.
• Subjects with acute TMD and myofascial pain unrelated to active inflammation, infection, or recent trauma for at least six months.
