Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Summary

This study investigates whether chronic neck pain changes how the neck works in people with temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and whether those neck changes relate to jaw function, mouth opening, and jaw pain. Researchers will compare 67 adults with TMD—some with chronic neck pain and some without—measuring neck posture, movement, muscle endurance, and sensation, alongside jaw mobility and function. The goal is to uncover which neck factors are linked to worse jaw symptoms, which could guide more comprehensive treatment approaches.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If this study clarifies how neck function affects jaw disorders, it could support adding neck assessments and rehabilitation to standard TMD care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all TMD patients, and the sample size is modest.
