<p>Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) manipulation has been covered by Japanese National Health Insurance since April 2020. We did a retrospective clinical study of this manipulation therapy for closed lock cases of the TMJ using clinical records of our department between April 1, 2020 and March 31, 2023. There were 1806 cases of temporomandibular joint disorder, and the average age of the patient was 42.8 years. There were 509 males with an average age of 41.2 years, and 1297 females with an average age of 44.2 years. Most of the patients were in their 20s (23.0%). Of the 165 patients (9.1%) who underwent manipulation, the majority were in their 20s (23.6%). The mouth opening improved well for the females who were in their 20s (13.8 mm) and 30s (13.7 mm). In the male patients, it improved well for those in their 50s (15.3 mm). Treatments after manipulation included muscle relaxants in 41 cases (24.8%), nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs in 100 cases (60.6%), myomonitor treatment in one case (0.6%), splint therapy in 8 cases (4.8%), pumping in 13 cases (7.9%), and open TMJ surgery in two cases (1.2%). In general, improvement of the mouth opening distance was observed in both males and females. (J Osaka Dent Univ 2024; 58: 365-369)</p>
