Summary

This study looked at 60 university students aged 18-25 to see if those with temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) have different neck muscle endurance and pain sensitivity compared to healthy students. Researchers measured how long students could hold neck exercises and how much pressure caused pain in jaw and neck muscles. The goal was to better understand the connection between jaw problems and neck function.
