Chewing gum could spot hidden jaw pain in Horton's disease
NCT ID NCT04010097
First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tested whether chewing gum can help doctors diagnose giant cell arteritis (Horton's disease), a condition that causes inflamed blood vessels. Researchers asked 66 people—some with suspected disease and some healthy—to chew gum for 4 minutes to see if it triggered jaw pain, a common symptom. The goal was to see how accurate this simple, low-cost test is compared to standard methods like ultrasound or biopsy.
