Summary

This research study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) when it is added to a physiotherapy program for people experiencing chronic temporomandibular disorders (TMD). To see whether adding PNE to physiotherapy program would provides additional benefits in reducing pain intensity, improving psychological well-being, and enhancing functional outcomes. The findings are expected to provide new insights into more comprehensive and patient-centered treatment strategies for managing chronic TMD. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Control Group: Physiotherapy only PNE Group: Physiotherapy plus Pain Neuroscience Education Both groups will receive their respective treatments for a set period of time.
