ePROPP - eHealth for Preventing and Reducing Orofacial Pain in the Population

Pain in the orofacial region has a 10% prevalence in the general population and health care providers are therefore expected to encounter these patients on a daily basis. Chronic orofacial pain often presents as jaw pain related to overload of the jaw muscles and temporomandibular joints. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a smartphone-based behavioural intervention (Ecological Momentary Intervention, EMI) grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), compared to standard treatment with an occlusal splint and a waiting list control group.
