Blood injections after jaw surgery: which works better?

NCT ID NCT07359131

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

Summary

This study looks at 700 adults who had jaw joint (TMJ) surgery and received either platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) injections during the operation. Researchers will review medical records to see which group had less pain and better jaw function six months later. The goal is to find out if one injection leads to a smoother recovery.

Active substance

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) injections

What this could lead to

If this study shows one injection works better, it could guide surgeons on which to use for better pain relief and jaw recovery after TMJ surgery.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study that looks back at medical records, not a controlled experiment. It can show links but not prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients.
