First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This pilot study tests a non-invasive device that gently stimulates the vagus nerve (nVNS) to see if it can reduce jaw pain and improve mood in premenopausal women with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Ten women will receive the treatment twice a week for 8 weeks, and researchers will measure changes in pain, mood, and brain activity using MRI and other tests. The goal is to understand if this drug-free approach can help manage TMD symptoms.
