About

the aim of this study to compare effects of Bowen's therapy and post isometric relaxation techniques on pain, range of motions and function in patients with TMJ disorder.

Full description

Temporomandibular joint disorder is a very common and serious problem of mouth and face pain related condition that mostly effect in quality of life and compromise the daily functional activities of a patient. It can be caused by any trauma, biomechanical, neuromuscular and psychologically related problems. Patient may come in acute and chronic phase. Patient condition mostly vary and worsen day by day, it thoughts that TMJD going interval throw out the life span of patient. Medicine, physical therapy interventions and surgical procedures are use in treatment of TMJ disorder. This study will conducted the comparative effects of Bowen's and post-isometric relaxation techniques on pain, ROM and functions in TMJ patients.

The study would be randomized clinical trial. Total 24 subjects will be assigned randomly into two groups by using lottery methods. Baseline treatment will be same (ultrasound, tapping) in both groups. Group A will be treated by Bowen's therapy and Group B will be treated by post-isometric relaxation technique for 30 min session (2 sessions/week and total 4 weeks). Numeric Pain Rating Scale, maximum mouth opening inter-incisal rural and jaw functional limitation scale-20 would be used as an outcome measurement tool for pain, range of motion and function respectively. Measurement will be taken at Baseline and at the end of the 4th week's treatment session. After assessing the normality data will be analyzed by using parametric / nonparametric test.
