Study population: The participants who ages between 18-65 years of both genders with disc displacement with reduction with/ without myofascial trigger points in master muscles will be included in the study.

Brief summary: This is a prospective, and controlled trial. 60 participants with myofascial trigger points and disc displacement with reduction and 60 participants with disc displacement with reduction will be included in the study. These two groups will be compared for clinical findings, pain severity and limitation of the temporomadibular function.

Detailed description: This is a prospective, and controlled trial. 60 participants with myofascial trigger points and disc displacement with reduction and 60 participants with disc displacement with reduction will be included in the study. The participants' ages will be between 18-65 years of both genders.

These two groups will be compared for clinical findings with DC/TMD Axis I- Symptom Questionnaire, pain levels in the last 1 month with DC/TMD Axis II-Graded Chronic Pain Scale, and limitation of the temporomadibular function with DC/TMD Axis II-Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-8.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* 18-65 years old of both genders.
* Presence of disc displacement with reduction with/without myofascial trigger points in master muscles.
* Being accepted of the participation in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Lack of cognitive ability to understand test instructions, illiteracy, aphasia, presence of a known psychiatric illness
* Refusal to participate in the study
* Patients under the age of 18 and over the age of 65
* Having other temporomandibular joint disorders other than the diagnosis of RDD and/or myofascial trigger points
