NCT ID NCT07666360

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is looking at how problems with the jaw, neck, and head position relate to the severity of temporomandibular disorder (TMD), a condition that causes jaw pain and dysfunction. Researchers will assess 60 adults using questionnaires and physical measurements. The goal is to find which factors best predict how severe TMD symptoms are, which could help guide future treatments.
