NCT ID NCT05272488
First seen May 09, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a simple breathing-based nerve stimulation technique to standard physical therapy can better reduce pain and improve jaw movement in people with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Sixty adults with jaw muscle pain will receive four sessions of manual therapy over a month. Half will also learn a vagus nerve stimulation exercise using deep diaphragmatic breathing. The goal is to see if the combined approach leads to less pain, better jaw function, and improved quality of life compared to manual therapy alone.
