First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two different low-level laser wavelengths (635nm and 980nm) to see if they could reduce pain and improve jaw function in people with myofascial pain syndrome of the jaw. Thirty participants received laser treatment twice a week for five weeks. The main goal was to measure pain reduction and how well the jaw could open.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
low-level laser therapy (635nm or 980nm diode laser)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a non-drug, non-invasive option for reducing jaw muscle pain and improving mouth opening.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Pain relief from laser therapy can vary, and long-term benefits are not yet proven.
