Brief Summary: The objective of this study will be to verify the additional effect of Pain Neuroscience Education program to orofacial manual therapy and orofacial and neck motor control exercises for pain intensity and disability and for the secondary outcomes pain self-efficacy, kinesiophobia, and overall perception of improvement in patients with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). This study will be a randomized clinical trial comprising a sample of 148 participants. Subjects will undergo a screening process to verify those presenting a diagnosis of painful TMD confirmed by the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC/TMD), between 18 and 55 years of both genders, and then the volunteers will be randomized into two groups (G1: Pain Neuroscience Education + Orofacial Manual Therapy/orofacial exercises/neck motor control exercises vs. G2: Orofacial Manual Therapy/orofacial exercises/neck motor control exercises). These volunteers will be recruited at the Dentistry Clinic of the University of São Paulo's School of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto - University of São Paulo. The intervention will be administered twice a week for 6 weeks by a single therapist lasting 1 hour per session. The primary outcome will be pain intensity and disability and the secondary outcomes will be pain self-efficacy, kinesiophobia and overall perception of improvement. The participants will be assessed immediate after the last session and at one and three-month follow-ups.
