Although OMT may improve orofacial muscle coordination and function, evidence specifically addressing ADDwR remains limited. Similarly, cervical dysfunction and impaired neuromuscular control may contribute to altered mandibular mechanics and pain. The study therefore proposes combining OMT with cervical stabilization exercises to address both regional and local dysfunctions.\n\nThe study will use a randomized controlled design at Lahore Medical and Dental College. A total of 88 participants (44 per group) are planned after accounting for 20% attrition. Participants will be adults aged 18-35 years with clinically diagnosed ADDwR, recruited using convenience sampling and subsequently randomly allocated to two groups.\n\nThe primary objective is to determine the effects of OMT with and without cervical stabilization exercises on jaw pain, mandibular range of motion, functional limitation, maximum relative occlusal load, oral repetitive behaviours, and burnout syndrome. Cervical pain and cervical range of motion are identified as secondary outcomes.\n\nThe intervention is planned for 12 weeks. OMT includes education, tongue\u002Flip\u002Fcheek and jaw exercises, functional training, TMJ mobilization, soft-tissue release, and home exercises. Cervical stabilization includes deep neck-flexor activation, cervical bracing, progressive stabilization and strengthening exercises.\n\nOutcome measures include the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, TheraBite for mandibular ROM, OccluSense for occlusal loading, cervical inclinometer, Jaw Functional Limitation Scale, Oral Behavior Checklist, and Stress Data will be analyzed using SPSS, with intention-to-treat analysis. Linear mixed-effects models or repeated-measures ANOVA will assess group, time, and group × time effects, while ANCOVA\u002FLMM contrasts will examine changes from baseline to 12 weeks. Effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals will also be reported.\n\nIn essence: the study investigates whether adding cervical stabilization exercises to OMT provides additional improvements in pain, jaw function, occlusal loading, oral behaviours, burnout, and cervical outcomes in patients with Axis-I Group II-a TMD\u002FADDwR.",[27,28,29,30],"Temporo-mandibular Dysfunction","Disc Displacement","Axis I Diagnosis","Disc Displacement With Reduction",[32,33,34,35,36,37],"Temporomandibular dysfunction","axis-i TMD","group iia TMD","disc displacement with reduction","Orofacial myofunctional therapy","cervical stabilization exercises","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-09-27",{"date":41,"type":42},"2026-10-01","ACTUAL",{"date":41,"type":21},{"date":45,"type":21},"2027-06-30",{"name":47,"class":48},"University of Lahore","OTHER"]
