TMJ dysfunction is linked to trauma, joint overloading owing to para-functional behaviors, mechanical stress, and metabolic issues. Myofascial pain and dysfunction, functional derangement, and osteoarthrosis are the three most frequent TMJ-related disorders. Temporomandibular joint disorders are a type of craniofacial problems. They affect the temporomandibular joint, muscles of mastication, and other musculoskeletal tissues. The most common clinical sign and symptoms associated with TMJ dysfunction are orofacial pain and clicking. The aim of study will be to compare the effects of Rocabado's approach versus Kraus therapy on Pain and Disability in patients with temporomandibular dysfunction.
A Randomized Clinical Trial will be conducted at FMH Physiotherapy Clinic and Boston Physiotherapy Clinic Lahore through consecutive sampling technique on 40 patients which will be allocated using random sampling through opaque sealed enveloped into Group A and Group B. Group A will be treated with Rocabado's approach and Group B will be treated with Kraus exercises. Outcome measures tools will be conducted through NPRS, TMD disability index, Fonseca questionnaire after four weeks. Data will be analyzed during SPSS software version 21. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) | The Numerical Rating Scale (NPRS-11) is an 11-point scale for self-report of pain. It is the most commonly used unidimensional pain scale. The respondent selects a whole number (integers 0-10) that best reflects the intensity (or other quality if requested of his/her pain. pre and post followup on 4th week | 4th week |
| Temporomandibular Joint Disability Index Questionnaire: | The TMD Disability Index is a ten-question questionnaire that is based on the Oswestry Back Pain Questionnaire and the Neck Pain and Disability Questionnaire. 12 It is TMJ-specific, comprising specialized TMJ tasks (instrument playing, speech, dental care, and so on); it delivers a score ranging from 20 to 100. pre and post followup on 4th week | 4th week |
| Fonseca's Questionnaire for severity | TMD diseases are classified using the Fonseca questionnaire into mild, moderate, severe, or no disease. It consists of ten questions about temporomandibular joint pain, head, back, and chewing discomfort, parafunctional habits, movement limits, joint clicking, perception of malocclusion, and emotional stress sensation. pre and post followup on 4th week | 4th week |
