Summary
This study looked at whether specific neck exercises could reduce pain and improve daily function in women with long-term jaw joint and muscle disorders (TMD). 113 women with chronic jaw pain were split into two groups: one did 8 weeks of neck motor control exercises, while the other received a placebo treatment. Researchers measured pain levels, brain changes, and jaw function before, after, and 4 months later to see if the exercises helped.
