Objectives: To find out the effect of mulligan mobilization in individuals with trismus.

Method: Ethical Clearance was obtained from institutional ethical committee. A total 30 subjects with trismus were selected and mulligan mobilization were given for 1 hour/day and 5days/week. The preassessment of ROM was measured by vernierecaliper and pain was measured on VAS and post interventional assessment was taken for the same after 10 days

Result: This study showed significant improvement in the outcome variables concluding that it increases ROM and decreases PAIN. This was confirmed using statistical analysis by using paired t test for within group comparison. ROM Post training there was extremely significant improvement noted with individuals with trismus. p value =<0.0001,VAS post training there was extremely significant improvement noted with trismus p value= <0.0001

Conclusion: Hence Mulligan mobilization is effective in improving ROM and it is also effective in decreasing pain in TRISMUS condition.
