Can training your neck calm your jaw pain? new study investigates

NCT ID NCT03403998

Summary

This study tested whether a specific 8-week program of neck exercises could help women with chronic jaw pain (temporomandibular disorders, or TMD). Researchers wanted to see if the exercises reduced pain and disability, and if they also caused changes in the brain related to pain processing. Participants were randomly assigned to either do the neck exercises or receive a placebo treatment twice a week.
