Previous studies have demonstrated that treatments targeting the upper cervical region can improve pain symptoms in patients with TMD. The aim of the current study was to assess whether counselling alone and counselling plus occlusal splint therapy can also provide relief for coexisting neck pain.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Subjects and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Consecutive adult patients with TMD pain and neck dysfunction were randomised into one treatment group (counselling only\u2014C, or counselling plus occlusal splint\u2014OS). Neck pain was measured using a VAS scale, while neck disability was computed using the Neck Disability Index (NDI). Treatment outcomes were measured after 3\u2010month follow\u2010up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty\u2010seven patients were recruited for the C group (5 males, 22 females, mean age\u2009\u00b1\u2009SD: 36.5\u2009\u00b1\u200911.8\u2009years), while 24 belonged to the OS group (3 males, 21 females, mean age\u2009\u00b1\u2009SD: 35.5\u2009\u00b1\u200912.5\u2009years).
