Resumo:Objective: To evaluate the effect of manual therapy (TM) on cortisol levels, pain intensity, quality of life and psychological aspects in patients with temporomandibular disorders .Methodology: A series of cases was carried out with 5 patients with TMD, diagnosed by the Diagnostic Criterion in research in patients with Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC / TMD). Patients received TM sessions twice a week for 30 minutes for a period of 1 month, for a total of 8 sessions. The level of salivary cortisol, intensity of pain was verified on the numerical visual scale (EVN), degree of symptoms of anxiety by the questionnaires: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Anxiety Index State trait (STAI), degree of symptoms of depression using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale questionnaire (HADS) and quality of life using the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQUOL bref). They were evaluated before and after the application of the therapy. Results: It was observed that after TM all patients were pain free (EVN = 0), with a decrease in the level of salivary cortisol (1.98 µg / dl to 1.31 µg / dl), less anxious (medium anxiety) and less depressive (mild depression) and with improved quality of life. Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated that manual therapy had satisfactory effects in the treatment of patients with TMD on pain intensity, salivary cortisol level, anxiety in relation to the BAI questionnaire, depression and quality of life.
