Summary
This study tests whether injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can reduce pain and improve jaw function in people with chronic jaw muscle pain (myogenous TMD). Fifty women aged 20–50 with at least 3 months of pain will receive either PRP or a saltwater shot, then be followed for 6 months. PRP is made from the patient's own blood and may help heal muscle tissue.
