Summary

This study tested a combination of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the patient's own blood and hyaluronic acid injected into the jaw joint. Twenty-two adults with painful clicking and limited mouth opening received the treatment. Researchers used a jaw tracking device to measure changes in movement, pain, and how wide they could open their mouth.
