Can a smartphone app replace a mouth splint for jaw pain?
NCT ID NCT07129096
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a web-based relaxation program can ease jaw pain from temporomandibular disorders (TMD). 124 patients will either use the app or get a standard mouth splint. Researchers will track pain, sleep, and stress over one year to see if the app is a helpful, low-cost alternative.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Applied relaxation via web application (Relappy.app)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a low-cost, at-home self-management option for jaw pain and related stress symptoms.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial. The web app may not be as effective as the standard splint treatment, and results may not apply to all TMD patients.
