Jaw pain study tests two injection cocktails for better mouth opening
NCT ID NCT07598253
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests which injection mixture works better for people with a displaced jaw joint (TMJ) that still clicks and moves. Twenty adults will receive either a mix of hyaluronic acid and steroids or hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma after a joint washout. The goal is to see which combination improves mouth opening and reduces pain more effectively.
