Summary

This study looks at whether adding Clinical Pilates to lifestyle counseling helps women with jaw pain (temporomandibular disorders) more than counseling alone. About 62 women aged 18-45 with muscle-related jaw pain will take part. They will be split into two groups: one gets only lifestyle advice, the other gets advice plus twice-weekly Pilates for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure pain, jaw function, posture, anxiety, sleep, and quality of life before and after treatment.
