Patients will be called for check-ups on the 1st day, 1st week and 1st month after the protocols and the current perceived pain level before and after the treatment will be determined by scoring with Visual Analog Scala (VAS) and measuring the mouth opening with a ruler ( mm).'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Patients included in this study were adult individuals aged 18 years and older who were diagnosed with stage 3 or higher temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder according to the Wilkes classification, based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in addition to clinical evaluation.
