Brief Summary

The pelvic floor serves as stability and support as it is the postural balance and core resource base for the pelvic organs. A dysfunction in the organs in this area can affect the pelvic floor muscles, the functioning of an organs in the muscles. Incontinence organ prolapse, pelvic pain and sexual problems may occur when the support or stability of the pelvic floor is impaired. Pelvic floor novelization is not always seen weakness. Sometimes excessive contractions and excessive activity in muscle tone can be seen. Stress and anxiety-related tension are the main causes of pelvic floor dysfunctions. Involuntary contractions and excessive muscle tone in the pelvic floor muscles cause chronic pelvic pain syndrome, constipation and dyssynergic defecation problems. Some of these patients have complaints of tightening teeth in the temporamandibular joint, grinding teeth at night, together with contractions in the pelvic floor. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of pelvic floor improvement on tinnitus level as a result of dysfunctional condition in temporamandibular joint with treatment practices of pelvic floor patients with excessive muscle activity.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Tinnitus Disability Questionnaire

  The application of the questionnaire, which is not affected by hearing loss, age and gender, gives both easy and psychometric clearer measurements. The questionnaire consisting of 25 questions examines the perception of tinnitus and psychosocial status of the patient

  Change from Baseline and 10 Weeks

• Fonseca Anamnestic Index

  FAI is a questionnaire consisting of 10 questions that determine the presence of pain in TME, head, back areas and during chewing, parafunctional habits, movement restriction, clique, malocclusion, emotional stress

  Change from Baseline and 10 Weeks

• Oral Behavioral Survey Questions

  In the pathogenesis of TMD, parafunctional habits such as day and night tooth tightening, tooth grinding, nail eating, lip biting, cheek biting, pen biting, chewing gum play an important role. A positive association has often been reported between TMD and parafunctional habits. "Oral Behavior Checklist (OBC)", a survey study consisting of 21 Questions, is used to diagnose such oral habits
