Summary
This study tests whether a special omega-3 supplement can reduce pain in adults with chronic temporomandibular disorder (TMD), a condition causing jaw pain. One hundred participants will take either the supplement or a placebo daily for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in pain intensity, jaw function, and quality of life.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a natural, low-risk option for managing chronic jaw pain without drugs.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (100 people) testing a supplement, not a drug. Results may not apply to everyone, and the supplement may not reduce pain better than placebo.
