      Our study will consists of 300 female participants aged between 18 and 65 years who applied
      to the physical therapy and rehabilitation outpatient clinic between May 2021 and August

      Patients with temporomandibular region surgery, congenital teporomandibular joint
      pathologies, and previous temporomandibular region trauma were will be excluded from the
