Brief Summary
The purpose of the study will be to examine the effectiveness of an innovative use of music on TMD. Music and rhythmic vibrations can alter the basic processes related to sensation of pain in the brain. As well, music can block the neurological pathways that transmit pain sensations and thereby reduce pain. Music and vibrations are relaxing, reduce stress, and thereby reduce sensitivity to pain.
