Effectiveness of Cervical Spine High Velocity Low Amplitude Thrust Added to Behavioral Education, Soft Tissue Mobilization, and Exercise in Individuals With Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) With Myalgia: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
CONCLUSION: Both groups improved over time, however, differences between groups were small. Significant differences between groups were noted for JFLS, TSK-TMD, and GROC. The additive clinical effect of cervical HVLAT to standard care remains unclear in the treatment of TMD.
