Summary

This study tests a short, two-session telehealth program called Physical Self-Regulation for people with chronic masticatory muscle pain (jaw pain). Participants will be randomly assigned to either this program or a control session that teaches about jaw anatomy. The goal is to see if the program is practical and helps reduce pain and improve quality of life over three months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Physical Self-Regulation Telehealth (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, home-based way to manage chronic jaw pain and improve daily life.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 104 participants. The control group also receives an active intervention, so it may be hard to tell if the new program is truly better.
