Neck and jaw connection under the microscope: new study aims to unlock TMD secrets
NCT ID NCT07371195
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study will measure how well the upper neck moves and how that relates to jaw motion in 50 adults with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Participants will have their neck and jaw movements measured with simple tools. The goal is to understand if limited neck mobility contributes to jaw problems, which could guide future treatments.

- What this could lead to
- If this study finds a clear link between neck mobility and jaw function, it could point toward better physical therapy approaches for TMD.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study—it only looks for a relationship, not a treatment. Results may not apply to everyone with TMD.
