Ultrasound guidance may improve jaw injections for TMJ pain
NCT ID NCT07266714
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using ultrasound to guide hyaluronic acid injections into the jaw joint works better than the usual method for people with a displaced jaw disc. Forty adults who had not improved with other treatments received either ultrasound-guided or standard injections. Researchers measured pain, clicking sounds, and jaw movement to see if ultrasound guidance made a difference.
