First seen Apr 28, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tested a procedure called arthrocentesis, which is like a 'joint washout,' for people with long-term jaw pain and clicking. 27 adults who had not improved with other treatments received the washout on one side. Researchers used ultrasound to measure joint swelling and asked about pain before the procedure and at 3 and 6 months after. The goal was to see if the washout reduces swelling and eases symptoms.
