Summary
This study tests whether adding stress management and sleep education to standard physiotherapy helps people with jaw joint disorders (TMD) feel less stressed, sleep better, and grind their teeth less. Forty adults with TMD will get either physiotherapy alone or physiotherapy plus a biopsychosocial program. The goal is to see if addressing mental and social factors improves outcomes beyond physical therapy alone.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
physiotherapy plus biopsychosocial education (pain neuroscience, stress management, sleep hygiene)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective treatment for jaw pain that also addresses stress and sleep problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is non-drug and relies on self-reported outcomes, which can be subjective.
