Efficacy of Hamstring Stretching, Ultrasound Therapy, and Pressure Pain Threshold for Masseter Muscle in TMJ Dysfunction Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The findings of this study highlight the potential benefits of integrating hamstring stretching into standard physiotherapy interventions for TMD. Given the significant improvements observed in pain reduction and MVMO, clinicians may consider including hamstring flexibility exercises in rehabilitation programs for TMD patients to achieve better functional outcomes.
