Brief Summary

The project aims to assess the effects of proprioceptive treatment through the use of hyperbolid mastication apparatus on pain intensity, muscle activity and joint mobility in subjects with TMD. A randomized, blind, clinical trial will be conducted. Volunteers aged between 18 and 40 years will be recruited, with a diagnosis of muscle- and joint-related TMD according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC / TMD), being randomly divided in three different groups: Group 1 (G1) - treated with HB device combined with tongue exercises on the palate; Group 2 (G2) - treated HB alone and Group 3 (G3) - control. Treatment protocols will be applied for 12 sessions, the volunteers will be evaluated in two stages: before applying the treatment and after the last session.

Study Arms (3)

Hyperbolid combined with tongue exercises on the palate

EXPERIMENTAL

The proprioceptive treatment protocol if run in the use of exercises with hyperboloid based on studies of Biasotto-Gonzalez (2005), for each exercise will be held 6 sets of 6 reps. Between exercises, 1 minute will be established for rest of the volunteer, in order to avoid muscle fatigue and possible exacerbation of pain, and after that period you will be asked to volunteer the proprioceptive exercise of ´ ´ tongue on the hard palate ´ ´ Biasotto-Gonzalez-based (2005), which consists of the language supported in the hard palate, you must open and close the mouth, having as the principle language as a physical reference.

Behavioral: hyperbolid combined with tongue exercises on the palate

Hyperbolid

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The proprioceptive treatment protocol if run in the use of the hyperboloid, based on studies of Biasotto-Gonzalez (2005), but without the proprioceptive exercise of language in ´ ´ hard palate ´ ´. For each exercise will be held 6 series of 6 repetitions, and between exercises, 1 minute will be established for rest of the volunteer, in order to avoid muscle fatigue and possible exacerbation of pain.

Other: hyperbolid

Control

NO INTERVENTION

The individuals in control group did not receive any type of intervention, being offered proprioceptive treatment after the study period.
