TEMPOROMANDIBULAR DISORDERS (TMD)

This study is testing whether a new injection treatment using concentrated growth factors from a patient's own blood works better than the standard fluid-draining procedure for a painful jaw joint condition. Researchers will compare the two treatments in 32 adults with displaced …

This study follows people for 10 years to see if a specific dental adjustment procedure provides long-term relief for chronic jaw pain and muscle disorders. Researchers are comparing this adjustment to a sham (fake) treatment to see which one better reduces pain and improves jaw …

This study is testing whether a simple 2-week gratitude journaling activity is practical and helpful for people with chronic jaw pain. Researchers want to see if writing about things they're grateful for three times a week can reduce pain intensity and how much pain interferes wi…

This study is testing whether a gentle electrical stimulation device worn on the ear, combined with a self-managed therapy program, can help reduce pain and improve jaw movement in people with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Researchers will compare the real device to a placeb…
