Summary

This study tested two types of manual therapy (muscle massage and joint mobilization) for jaw problems in 57 adults with rheumatoid arthritis. Both treatments reduced pain, improved jaw movement, and lessened headaches and anxiety compared to no treatment. The results suggest these therapies can help manage symptoms, but they do not cure the underlying arthritis.
