Ultrasound reveals how jaw pain treatments change muscles
NCT ID NCT07676799
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how two common treatments for myofascial jaw pain—a mouth splint and lidocaine injections—affect the muscles of the jaw and neck. Researchers use ultrasound to see changes in muscle structure, like how well the muscle fibers reflect sound waves. The goal is to find out if ultrasound can help measure whether a treatment is working. The study includes 80 people with myofascial pain who have not had treatment in the last three months.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that ultrasound can track muscle healing, helping doctors choose better treatments for jaw and neck pain.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with no placebo group, so results may not prove which treatment works best or apply to everyone.
