Summary

This study tests whether a treatment called extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) can reduce pain and improve jaw movement in people with painful jaw muscle disorders (TMD). About 100 adults with moderate to severe jaw pain for at least 3 months will receive either real or fake shock wave therapy. Researchers will measure pain, jaw motion, inflammation, and quality of life over 5 weeks of treatment and up to 3 months afterward.
