Summary
This study tests whether applying heat to the jaw can reduce pain and fatigue caused by teeth clenching in people with chronic temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Ten adults with TMD will receive heat therapy and report their jaw pain daily for 8 days. Researchers will compare their pain changes to a matched group not receiving heat, aiming to identify who benefits most from this simple treatment.
