OMT vs Exercise in TMD

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether different rehabilitation approaches can improve pain, function, and postural control in individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The study focuses on adults diagnosed with myogenic TMD. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) reduce pain and improve functional outcomes in individuals with TMD? Does a structured home-based exercise program improve postural control and sensorimotor function in individuals with TMD? Researchers will compare osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) and a home-based exercise program to determine their relative effects on pain, function, and postural stability. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to either the OMT group or the exercise group Receive the assigned intervention over the study period Undergo assessments before and after treatment, including pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, mandibular movements, cervical range of motion, postural stability, and quality of life
