Effectiveness of Manual Therapy in Patients With Tinnitus and Temporomandibular Joint Disorder.

Tinnitus is one of the most prevalent symptoms that causes more disability in patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD). The present study postulates a possible link between temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and inner ear based on their anatomical, biomechanical and physiological relationship, proposing a physiotherapy treatment for the temporomandibular joint to improve tinnitus. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of adding specific manual therapy to a multimodal physiotherapy treatment in patients with tinnitus and temporomandibular disorder.
