First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two non-drug treatments—ultrasound and virtual reality—for reducing pain and improving jaw movement in people with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) after tooth extraction. Fifty adults aged 40-60 with pain and limited mouth opening will be enrolled. The goal is to see which approach works better for easing symptoms.
