First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tested whether injecting tenoxicam or meloxicam into the jaw joint can ease symptoms of a common TMJ disorder where the disc slips out of place but goes back in (anterior disc displacement with reduction). Thirty adults with pain, clicking, and limited mouth opening received up to three injections. The goal was to reduce clicking, pain (on a 1-10 scale), and improve how wide they could open their mouth.
