TEMPOROMANDIBULAR DISORDERS (TMD)

This study looks at whether adding a structured exercise program to standard mouthguard therapy can better relieve jaw pain and improve function in people with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). About 38 adults with TMD will either receive a mouthguard alone or a mouthguard plus …

This study looks at whether keeping a gratitude journal for two weeks is a practical and helpful way to reduce pain for people with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and other chronic pain conditions. About 60 adults aged 18 to 80 with jaw pain lasting at least 3 months will try t…

This study compares a new injection made from your own growth factors (LPCGF) to the standard jaw-joint washout (arthrocentesis) for people with a displaced jaw disc. About 32 adults aged 18-45 with jaw pain, clicking, or limited mouth opening will be randomly assigned to one tre…

This study compares a self-management program (education, cognitive-behavioral tools, exercises, mind-body strategies, lifestyle changes) to standard care for chronic orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders (TMD). About 98 adults aged 18-65 with TMD-related pain will be ra…

This study tests whether a non-invasive device that gently stimulates the vagus nerve, combined with simple self-care exercises, can reduce jaw and neck pain in people with temporomandibular disorder (TMD). About 48 adults with muscle-related TMD will receive either real or place…

This study tests whether a stabilizing mouth splint can reduce tinnitus (ringing in the ears) in people who also have temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Researchers will compare the splint to a placebo in 63 adults over 4 months. The goal is to see if treating the jaw probl…

This study tests whether online or group physiotherapy can be as effective as individual sessions for treating jaw muscle pain (temporomandibular disorders). About 90 adults with jaw muscle pain will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment formats. The goal is to see if mo…

This study follows up on people who received a dental adjustment called POOE (or a fake procedure) for chronic jaw pain (TMD) over 10 years later. Researchers want to see if the real treatment still provides meaningful pain relief compared to the sham. About 110 adults aged 18-85…

This study looks at people who had jaw joint surgery about 10 years ago to see if the benefits lasted. Researchers will measure jaw movement, pain, and joint health using exams and X-rays. The goal is to understand if a check-up at 6 months can predict long-term success.

This study reviews past jaw joint replacement surgeries to see if standard, lower-cost prostheses can be planned using 3D virtual tools as effectively as expensive custom-made ones. Researchers will compare planned positions from X-rays with actual surgical outcomes in 30 patient…
