Summary

This study tests a light-based treatment called photobiomodulation (PBM) for pain caused by temporomandibular disorder (TMD). About 130 adults with long-term jaw or face pain will receive either real PBM or a sham treatment to see if it reduces pain. The goal is to find a safe, non-drug option for managing TMD pain.
