Summary

This study tests whether a mix of two drugs (triamcinolone and lidocaine) injected into jaw muscle trigger points can reduce pain in people with TMJ disorders. About 30 adults will receive either the active injection or a placebo. The main goal is to see if it lowers pain intensity and improves how wide they can open their mouth.
