About this trial
The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effects of progressive neck motor control exercises on craniocervical pain, posture, function and kinesiophobia in different types of temporomandibular dysfunction. The secondary aim of the study was to examine the differences between the effects of progressive neck motor control exercises on different types of temporomandibular dysfunction.

Treatments tested in this trial
Progressive neck motor control exercise therapy
Other interventionThe exercise programme will be conducted as a single session two days a week for 6 weeks. The sessions will always be conducted by the same physiotherapist. Each exercise session will consist of 10 minutes of warm-up exercises, 40 minutes of neck motor control exercises and 10 minutes of cool down exercises. Each exercise will be performed as 2 sets of 10 repetitions.
Patient education
Other interventionThe content of this education consists of information about the disease and symptoms, chewing recommendations, dietary changes, parafunctional habits, activities to be avoided, posture recommendations.
