NCT ID NCT07499869
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will test a 4D virtual simulator called Modjaw to see if it helps doctors diagnose temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders more accurately. About 20 adults with suspected disc displacement will use the device, and the results will be compared to MRI scans. The goal is to improve early diagnosis and prevent worsening of jaw pain.
