Aims:The study was conducted to investigate the effect of Yoga-based exercise program on pain, range of motion(ROM), sleep quality, depression and quality of life in female patients with myofascial pain dysfunction(MPD) of temporomandibular disorders . Methods: MPD will be included in the study. Yoga based exercise program will be performed to the first group as 3 times in a week for 6 weeks. The second group will be the control group. Outcome measurements; pain ,sleep quality, depression and quality of life will be evaluated. Evaluations will be repeated before and 6 weeks after exercise.
Total 46 female patients between the ages of 20-50 planned to include in the study. In the study, 42 volunteers divided into two groups as yoga group (Group 1) and control group (Group 2).

Yoga-based exercises are Hatha yoga-based sessions consisting of breathing exercises, warm-up exercises, relaxation, asanas exercises and lasts about one hour. Before the treatment, evaluations made immediately after the 6-weeks exercise program ended. As the primary outcome measures; jaw pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Neck Pain And Disability Scale (NPDS), neck and jaw range of motion (ROM) measurements; for secondary outcome measurements; the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PUQI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Short Form 36 (SF36) are used. All measurements are repeated at the 6th week after yoga application and datas compared with the baseline measurements.

Visual Analog Scale(VAS)
Pain intensity felt in the chin was evaluated with VAS at rest. They were asked to draw their pain level on a 10 cm scale between 0-10 points as 0=no pain, 10 unbearable pain
Time frame: 6 weeks
Neck Pain And Disability Scale (NPDS)
It is examined with Neck Pain and Disability Scale (NPDS). The severity of neck pain, duration of symptoms, and the disability of each item in the specified activities are evaluated. Each item is scored between 0-5 points. The total score is the sum of the points in each item and ranges from 0 to 100. High scores indicate more severe pain and effect
Time frame: 6 weeks
Neck and jaw range of motion (ROM)
The neck and chin area of the patients were measured with a ROM universal goniometer. While neck normal joint motion flexion (0-65 °), extension (50 °), lateral flexion (45 °) and rotation (60-80 °) were measured, TMJ movements, mandibular depression, protrusion, deviation movements were measured. Measurements were taken 3 times and the mean value was recorded
Time frame: 6 weeks
Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PUQI)
Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a questionnaire that evaluates sleep quality with questions asked in 7 main topics as: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficacy, sleep disorders, use of sleep medication and daytime functions. Questions are given a score between 0-3, high scores reflect poor sleep quality. Each of the seven main titles is evaluated first in itself. The scores of these components are added.
