NCT ID NCT04010097
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether chewing gum can help doctors diagnose giant cell arteritis (Horton's disease), a condition where blood vessels become inflamed. The idea is that chewing may trigger jaw pain in people with the disease, making it easier to spot. Researchers compared results from 66 people with and without the condition to see how accurate the test is.
