Self-Management of Chronic Orofacial Pain Including TMD

The guide can be used by both patients and clinicians, for self-management of chronic orofacial pain. It allows patients and clinicians to build a collaborative partnership to understand the problem from the patient perspective using impact questionnaires. It is problem led as opposed to diagnosis focused and requires patients to set goals which can be targeted by intervention techniques described in the manual.
