Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Males and females aged 15 years or older 2. Individuals diagnosed with temporomandibular disorder (K07.6) 3. Individuals with a visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score of 40 or higher during maximum mouth opening 4. Individuals who have experienced pain during function (chewing, mouth opening) for at least the past two weeks prior to screening 5. Individuals with adequate vision and hearing to participate in the clinical trial 6. Individuals who have no difficulty using a mobile application on a smartphone 7. Individuals who own a personal smartphone 8. Individuals who have no difficulty reading and writing in Korean 9.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Individuals diagnosed with temporomandibular disorder (K07.6) but showing bony changes on radiological examination [TMJ (temporomandibular joint) panorama]. 2. Individuals with metabolic arthritis or temporomandibular joint arthritis, including suppurative or tuberculous arthritis, or those with other systemic infections. 3. Individuals scheduled to undergo surgery requiring general anesthesia during the trial. However, if the planned surgery only requires local anesthesia and can be performed as a day case without hospitalization, exclusion is not necessary if, in the investigator’s opinion, the procedure does not compromise the participant's safety or interfere with the trial procedures. 4. Individuals who have participated in any type (online or offline) of temporomandibular joint-related clinical trial within 12 months prior to the study enrollment date. 5. Individuals deemed unsuitable for this study based on the investigator’s judgment for any other reason.
