Key Points

  • To compare the effectiveness of manual therapy versus Pilates-based core stability training in patients with temporomandibular disorders.
  • Randomized controlled multicenter pilot study design
  • Participants received either manual therapy or Pilates-based training
  • Comparative analysis focused on pain intensity and functional improvements
  • Both interventions showed promise in reducing pain intensity
  • Manual therapy demonstrated slightly greater improvements in function
  • Feasibility for a larger trial was established

Abstract

A larger trial comparing the FDM and CST as adjunctive therapies is feasible. Both approaches, particularly the FDM, show promise for providing adjunctive benefits in reducing pain intensity and improving function. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06134310.
