Jaw pain relief at home: study tests virtual therapy

This study tested whether physical therapy for temporomandibular disorders (TMD) — which cause jaw pain, headaches, and clicking — works just as well when done virtually (via video calls) as in person. Over 200 adults with TMD were split into two groups: one received standard in-person therapy, the other did therapy from home using a device like a phone or tablet. Researchers compared how well each group's symptoms improved and whether diagnoses were accurate. The goal was to see if telerehabilitation is a good alternative for managing TMD symptoms.
