Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are common musculoskeletal conditions affecting the jaw joint and surrounding chewing muscles. Myogenic TMD specifically involves muscle pain and dysfunction, which is frequently accompanied by chronic neck pain due to the close anatomical and neurophysiological connections between the jaw and the cervical spine. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of two widely used physiotherapy interventions-a clinician-administered manual therapy protocol and a patient-conducted home exercise program-in individuals diagnosed with myogenic TMD and chronic neck pain. The main research question is to determine whether targeted manual therapy applied to both the temporomandibular and cervical regions yields superior improvements in pain, jaw and neck mobility, quality of life, and masseter muscle properties compared to the Rocabado 6x6 home exercise program alone.

Baseline and 2 weeks post-treatment
Clinician-administered targeted manual therapy protocol applied to both the temporomandibular joint and cervical spine regions. The treatment includes soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and joint mobilization techniques. Administered in 6 individual treatment sessions over 2 weeks (3 sessions per week).
Standardized patient-conducted Rocabado 6x6 home exercise program focusing on mandibular and cervical posture, mobility, and muscular control. Performed 3 days per week for 2 weeks. Patient adherence and compliance are tracked using daily exercise logbooks.
