Immediate effects of rhythmic joint mobilization of the temporomandibular joint on pain, mouth opening and electromyographic activity in patients with temporomandibular disorders

Rhythmic joint mobilizations (RJM) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are employed to relieve pain and improve function in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). However, the evidence on the immediate effects of RJM in patients with TMD is scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the immediate clinical and functional effects of RJM in patients with TMD.
