What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now

Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at how the position of your head affects the movement of your jaw joints (TMJ) in people aged 11 to 65 who are getting braces or dental reconstruction. Researchers will measure jaw and neck movement before and after a brief hands-on therapy session to see if it helps improve mobility and head alignment. The goal is to better understand the link between head posture and jaw function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
manual therapy techniques (joint distraction and lateral glide)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward simple manual therapy techniques to improve jaw mobility and head posture in dental patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational and interventional study with no control group, so results may not be widely applicable. The manual therapy effects may be temporary or not clinically significant.
