Manual Therapy Applied to the Cervial Joint Reduces Pain and Improves Jaw Function in Individuals with Temporomandibular Disorders: A Systematic Review on Manual Therapy for Orofacial Disorders
CONCLUSION: Manual therapy applied to the cervical joint had short-term benefits for reducing pain intensity and improving jaw function in women with TMDs. Further studies are needed to improve the quality of the evidence and to investigate the maintenance of benefits beyond the intervention period.PMID:37389837 | DOI:10.11607/ofph.3093 (Source: Journal of Orofacial Pain)

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Used in Temporomandibular Disorders: A Review of the Literature
CONCLUSION: A wide range of PROMs have been used to describe the impact of TMDs on patients. Such variability may limit the ability of researchers and clinicians to evaluate the efficacy of different treatments and make meaningful comparisons.PMID:37389838 | DOI:10.11607/ofph.3264 (Source: Journal of Orofacial Pain)

A Controlled Study of Biopsychosocial Differences Observed in Masticatory Myalgia With and Without Pain Referral
CONCLUSION: These findings support the clinical utility of separating MFPwR from Mw/oR. Patients with MFPwR are more complex from a biopsychosocial perspective than Mw/oR patients, which likely affects prognosis and supports consideration of these factors in case management.PMID:37389839 | DOI:10.11607/ofph.3317 (Source: Journal of Orofacial Pain)

Neural Correlates of Tooth Clenching in Patients with Bruxism and Temporomandibular Disorder-Related Pain
CONCLUSIONS: Brain activity in patients with bruxism and TMD-related pain is correlated more with pain processing than with motoric differences.PMID:37389840 | DOI:10.11607/ofph.3091 (Source: Journal of Orofacial Pain)
