Primary outcome Overall, TMJ manual therapy, low-level laser therapy, and therapeutic ultrasound showed significant improvements in pain intensity (TMJ manual therapy: SMD = −2.58, 95% CI = −4.56 to − 0.60; low-level laser therapy: SMD = −2.04, 95% CI = −3.16 to − 0.93; therapeutic ultrasound: SMD = −2.74, 95% CI = −4.39 to − 1.08; TMJ exercise: SMD = −1.69, 95% CI = −3.32 to −0.07) and TENS showed a positive trend for pain improvement (SMD = −1.39, 95% CI = −2.28 to 0.03; Fig. 3 ).
