Abstract

Purpose: Tension-type headache (TTH) is commonly observed in the community. The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of Temporomandibular Joint Soft Tissue Techniques (TMD-STT) and Myofascial Release (MFR) techniques in individuals with TTH. Methods: Seventy-three voluntary individuals between the ages of 18-65 diagnosed with TTH according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) were included. Participants were divided into three groups based on randomization: Group 1; TMD-STT, Group 2; MFR Group, and Group 3; Control Group. Headache was assessed using the Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6); TMJ with the Fonseca Scale; Temporomandibular Range of Motion with a goniometer; quality of life with the SF-36 Quality of Life Scale; depression with the Beck Depression Scale (BDS); and anxiety with the Beck Anxiety Scale (BAS). Evaluations were conducted before treatment and at the end of 4 weeks. Group 1 received TMD-STT (soft tissue mobilization to anterior caudal glide, masseter, and medial pterygoid muscles) and Myofascial Release technique to temporal and suboccipital muscles. In addition to the applications in Group 1, Group 2 received deep posterior cervical fascia relaxation techniques for Trapezius, Rhomboid, Levator Scapula, and Sternocleidomastoid muscles. Results: Significant improvement in FONSECA and HIT-6 total scores was observed in both TMD-STT and MFR groups compared to the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: TMD soft tissue techniques were found to be as effective as myofascial techniques in the treatment of TTH.

Özet

Amaç: Gerilim tipi baş ağrısı (GTBA) toplumda sıklıkla görülmektedir. Çalışmamızın amacı GTBA olan bireylerde temporomandibular eklem (TME) Yumuşak Doku Teknikleri (TME-YDT) ve miyofasial gevşetme (MFG) teknikliklerinin etkinliğini incelemektir. Yöntem: Uluslararası Baş Ağrısı Derneğinin Baş ağrısı sınıflandırması (ICHD-3)’na göre 18-65 yaşları arası GTBA tanısı alan 73 gönüllü birey dahil edildi. Bireyler randomizasyon metoduna göre Grup 1; TME-YDT, Grup 2; MFG Grubu ve Grup 3; Kontrol Grubu olmak üzere 3’e ayrıldı. Baş ağrısı, Headache Impact Test-6(HIT-6) ile; TMED Fonseca Ölçeği ile; Temporomandibular EHA cetvel yardımı ile; servikal EHA gonyometre ile; yaşam kalitesi, SF-36 Yaşam Kalite Ölçeği ile; depresyon, Beck Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ) ile; Anksiyete, Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği (BAÖ) ile değerlendirildi. Değerlendirmeler tedavi öncesi ve 4 haftalık tedavi sonunda yapıldı. Grup 1’e TME- YDT (anterior kaudal glide, masseter ve medial pterygoid kaslarına yumuşak doku mobilizasyonu), Temporal ve Suboksipital kaslara miyofasial gevşetme tekniği uygulandı. Grup 2’ye grup 1’e yapılan uygulamalara ek olarak Trapez, Rhomboid, Levator Scapula ve Sternocleidomasteideus kaslarına ve derin posterior servikal fasya gevşetme teknikleri uygulandı. Bulgular: Hem TME hem de MFG gruplarının FONSECA ve HIT6 total skorlarında meydana gelen değişimin kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı şekilde yüksek olduğu görüldü(p<0,05). Sonuç: GTBA tedavisinde TME yumuşak doku tekniklerinin miyofasial teknikler kadar etkili olduğu bulundu.
