Effect of yoga-based exercise program in female patients with myofacial pain of temporomandibular disorders.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThe study was conducted to investigate the effect of Yoga-based exercise program on pain, range of motion (ROM), quality of sleep, depression and quality of life in female patients with myofacial pain of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). MATERIALS AND
methods39 Female patients with myofacial pain of TMD were included in the study. Yoga based exercise program was performed to the first group and second group was control group. Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Neck Pain and Disability Scale (NPDS), neck and jaw ROM, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PUQI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Short Form 36 (SF36) were evaluated. Evaluations were repeated before treatment and 6 weeks later.
resultsFrom the measurements, a decrease in Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) (p = 0.005) and neck pain (p = 0.031) was found to be significant in favor of Yoga Group. It was also observed that the increase in ROM in the neck right lateral flexion (p = 0.001) in favor of Yoga Group. The sleep quality did not change. In yoga group, a decrease in depression level (p = 0,023) and increase Quality of life in parameters of physical function (p = 0.023), vital capacity (p = 0.026), emotional health (p = 0.002), mental health (p = 0.080) were found as significant, statistically.
conclusionsIt was concluded that yoga-based exercise program can be used as an alternative program in patients with myofacial pain of TMD. Further study on myofascial pain of TMD is recommended. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Yoga-based exercise program can be used in patients with myofascial pain due to TMD.
