The objectives of the research are: 1. To compare physical functioning (pain intensity and jaw function) in UM students with chronic pain-related TMD before and after receiving BMBI 2. To compare psychological distress and mindfulness state in UM students with chronic pain-related TMD before and after receiving BMBI 3. To compare the quality of life of UM students with chronic pain-related TMD before and after receiving BMBI 4. To compare the changes in physical functioning, psychological distress, mindfulness state and quality of life between UM students in the intervention (BMBI) and the control groups.
