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

Summary

This study tested a treatment for a common jaw joint problem called TMJ anterior displacement, where the joint disc slips out of place. The treatment involved flushing the joint (arthrocentesis), then injecting platelet-rich plasma (a concentrate of the patient's own healing cells) and giving an anti-inflammatory drug. The goal was to improve jaw movement, reduce pain, and stop clicking. The study included 20 adults aged 18 to 40 with this condition, and all participants completed the treatment.
