Abstract

Objective: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are musculoskeletal conditions causing pain and functional limitations. This scoping review aimed to map therapeutic exercise interventions described in clinical studies on TMDs.

Methods: Following Joanna Briggs Institute methodology, searches were conducted in MEDLINE, Cochrane Central, Scopus, CINAHL, Embase, PEDro, Google Scholar, and OpenGrey.

Results: Seventy-six studies were included, most prescribing oral opening movements and motor control exercises. Daily home practice was frequently prescribed, predominantly involving multiple exercise sessions per day. Guidance on whether pain should be avoided or permitted during exercise was inconsistently reported.

Conclusion: Future studies should adopt standardized terminology and pain-parameter reporting, compare single versus multi-session approaches, and assess adherence to exercises to enable meta-analysis.

绘制治疗性运动干预颞下颌疾病：范围综述。

目的：颞下颌紊乱（TMDs）是引起疼痛和功能限制的肌肉骨骼疾病。本综述旨在对临床研究中描述的治疗性运动干预进行综述。方法：采用Joanna Briggs研究所的方法，在MEDLINE、Cochrane Central、Scopus、CINAHL、Embase、PEDro、谷歌Scholar和OpenGrey中进行检索。结果：包括76项研究，大多数规定口腔开口运动和运动控制练习。每天在家练习经常被规定，主要包括每天多次锻炼。关于在运动中是否应该避免或允许疼痛的指导报告不一致。结论：未来的研究应采用标准化的术语和疼痛参数报告，比较单次和多次治疗方法，并评估锻炼的依从性，以便进行荟萃分析。

期刊介绍： CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians. CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest. CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
