The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of strictly defined physiotherapy in patients temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). Patients will be clinically examined before starting physiotherapy and fill in the questionnaires. Subsequently, it will be followed up whether changes occur as a result of physiotherapy.
This study is a pilot study and is intended to be hypothesis generating in nature. Based on the resulting hypothesis, it will be verified by a study with a control group.

| Physiotherapy | Procedure | Various physiotherapeutic techniques are used in three defined sessions. Before the first session, a dental examination is performed and a clinical functional status is obtained to assess the extent of temporomandibular dysfunction. The results are recorded on validated questionnaires. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Reduction of temporomandibular pain | The German version of the Graded chronic pain scale (GCS) is used to measure the level of pain. The score ranges from level 0-IV, 0 representing no pain, I-II functional pain, and level III-IV dysfunctional, chronic pain. | Up to 3 months after the last physiotherapy intervention |

| Effects on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) | The German version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-G5) is used to assess OHRQoL. The questionnaire consists of 5 questions covering the 4 dimensions Oral Function, Orofascial Pain, Orofacial Appearance and Psychosocial impact. Each question can be answered from 0-4, where 0 stands for no impact and 4 for the highest impact. The values for the individual dimensions are formed and therefore range from 0-4 points; two questions address the Oral Function dimension, which is why values of 0-8 can be achieved here. | Up to 3 months after the last physiotherapy intervention |
