NCT ID NCT07677228
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether jaw exercises (Rocabado programme) work better when guided by a physiotherapist through online video sessions versus doing them at home with written instructions alone. Adults aged 18-60 with jaw-joint pain and teeth grinding are randomly assigned to either group and followed for four weeks. Researchers measure pain, mouth opening, jaw movement, stress, sleep, and oral habits to compare the two approaches.

Active substance
Rocabado 6×6 exercise programme
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that supervised online physiotherapy is more effective than home exercises alone for managing jaw pain and teeth grinding.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises may not work for all types of jaw disorders.
