Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Changing in maximum mouth opening pain free
The clinical signs was based on Research Diagnostic Criteria protocol and it was measured maximum mouth opening pain free using a caliper ((Somet, 150mm, Inox, Czechoslovakia)
Before and 5 days follow-up intervetion
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Changing of Pain
Before and 5 days follow-up intervetion
Other Outcomes (1)
Changing in Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire -MFIQ
Before and 5 days follow-up intervetion
Study Arms (1)
Manual therapy
NO INTERVENTIONUpper cervical flexion mobilization, C5 central posterior-anterior mobilization, Pressure biofeedback device
Interventions
The patient was supine with the cervical spine in a neutral position. The therapist brought about a contact of the occipital bone with the first finger and medial aspect of the hand, and other hand over the frontal region of the patient's head. The mobilizing force was delivered by flexing the upper cervical region using a combination of cephalic traction with the occipital hand and caudal pressure with the frontal hand. This technique was applied for 10 minutes
Device: Stabilizer - Chattanooga Group Inc., Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA The cranio-cervical flexor stabilization exercise was done 10 times holding 10 seconds the flexing position graded through feedback from a pressure biofeedback device
