Summary

This study is translating and testing an Italian version of a questionnaire that measures kinesiophobia—the fear of movement—in people with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), which affect the jaw joint and muscles. Researchers will ask 250 adults diagnosed with TMD to complete the questionnaire along with other measures of pain, disability, and emotional well-being. The goal is to check whether the Italian version is reliable and accurate for use in both clinical practice and research.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a reliable Italian tool to measure fear of movement in people with jaw joint disorders, improving assessment and care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational validation study, not a treatment trial. The questionnaire may not fully capture the experience of all patients, and results may not apply beyond the Italian-speaking population studied.
