Jaw pain may be linked to neck problems, new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07681570
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well people with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) can sense the position of their neck, how sensitive their jaw muscles are to pressure, and the angle of their head posture. Researchers will compare 30 adults — half with TMD and half healthy — to see if these measurements differ between the groups. The goal is to better understand the connection between jaw problems and neck function.

What this could lead to
If differences are found, this could help design better physical therapy for TMD that includes neck and posture training.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study (30 people) that only measures differences, not treatments. Results may not apply to all TMD patients.
