Summary

This study looked at whether Botox injections can reduce pain and improve jaw movement in people with chronic jaw muscle pain that didn't get better with standard treatments. Twenty-five adults received Botox in their jaw muscles. Researchers measured pain, jaw opening, and levels of pain-related substances in blood and saliva before and 28 days after treatment. The goal was to see if Botox lowers both pain and these body chemicals.
