Abstract

The text addresses the relationship between joint hypermobility (JH), Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) in patients, discussing the complexity, and comorbidities associated with these conditions. A clinical case is presented, along with the treatment, including focused shockwave therapy as a non-invasive therapeutic approach. The effectiveness of shockwave therapy is discussed in relation to pain relief and musculoskeletal system regeneration, based on studies and scientific evidence.
However, despite the potential benefits, further research is still needed to fully understand the effects of these therapies in patients with specific conditions, such as JHjoint hypermobility and ehlers-danlos syndrome (EDS. The safety and efficacy of shockwave therapy are also discussed, emphasizing the importance of following rigorous protocols to avoid complications.
This summary highlights the relevance of shockwave therapy in the treatment of TMD and other musculoskeletal conditions, providing a comprehensive view of therapeutic approaches and clinical considerations involved.
Keywords: Joint Hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome, Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
