Brief summary (from the registry)
Background Chronic temporomandibular disorders (TMD) pain is an undertreated condition in Sweden despite the fact that national guidelines includes effective treatment options. These guidelines recommend multimodal treatment with a behavioral approach. Internet-based intervention is an appealing modality for multimodal TMD treatment, enabling more patients to be reached and treated. Objective To investigate the treatment effect of an internet-based multimodal pain program (iMPP) on chronic TMD pain. As the study progressed, it also became a measure to evaluate the feasibility of running a larger randomized controlled trial.
