NCT ID NCT05426655
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a self-management program for jaw muscle pain in 107 adults with fibromyalgia. The program included online sessions on pain education, jaw exercises, and self-massage. Researchers measured changes in quality of life, pain, and fear of movement over 12 months. The goal was to see if patients could manage their jaw pain on their own.
