Brief Summary

Since TMJ and cervical pain incidence are rising and both structures are highly interrelated anatomically and functionally. And yet no standard protocol for TMD therapy The objective of this study is to state if there is a correlation between TMD and cervical dysfunction. To help reach a better diagnosis and a more holistic treatment. Forty volunteers (15 male and 25 female) between the ages of 20 to 40 were recruited. Cervical ROM was measured in all directions (rotation, flexion and extension, and sidebending) by CROM device, and a 10 cm plastic ruler marked in both centimeters and millimeters was used to measure TMJ vertical opening.

Conditions

Musculoskeletal Pain; TMJ Pain; Cervical Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Cervical spine range of motion by CROM

  measuring the change of cervical range of motion in all directions (rotation, flexion and extension, and side bending)

  "through study completion, an average of 3 months"

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• TMJ vertical opening

  "through study completion, an average of 3 months"

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 20 Years - 40 Years
• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The patients included in this study were recruited at the outpatient clinic of physical therapy and El Kasr El Einy Hospital from June 2019 till August 2019. The standard procedure is that patients fill out an admission form and undergo an intake assessment. After examination, the patient, who had a cervical dysfunction, was asked if they would be willing to undergo an assessment for this study. Forty volunteers (15 male and 25 female) between the ages of 20 to 40 (mean 27.05 +- 3.93 )

You may qualify if:

• Between the ages of 20 and 40
• Female and Male
• Suffering from a reduced cervical ROM
• No reported TMJ pain

You may not qualify if:

• \) Tumor (anywhere in the body)
• Recent trauma to the neck, torso or upper limb
• Active inflammation in the cervical region, upper thoraxic spine and chest or upper limb
• Recent use of orthodontics prostheses
