Recruiting studies
- NCT07094581Recruiting
How adenoid size affects chewing muscle in children
This study uses ultrasound to see if enlarged adenoids affect the masseter muscle (a chewing muscle) in children. It may help doctors understand how breathing problems during sleep or mouth breathing impact jaw muscles.
Aydin, EfelerAges 3–8 - NCT06708377Recruiting
Dry needling and massage for jaw joint pain
This trial tests whether dry needling combined with myofascial massage therapy can help relieve pain and improve jaw movement in people with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. It compares this treatment to standard care to see which works better.
Islamabad, FederalAges 25–45 - NCT07736222Recruiting
Does chewing affect artery stiffness in healthy adults?
This study looks at how your oral health and chewing habits might relate to your artery stiffness—a measure of heart health. Researchers will test participants' chewing ability and check their arteries using simple, non-invasive methods.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT06278194Recruiting
Masseter muscle thickness in gasser ganglion radiofrequency treatment
This trial studies how radiofrequency treatment for facial pain affects the thickness of your chewing muscle. It may help improve future treatments.
Istanbul, BaşakşehirAges 40–85 - NCT06962007Recruiting
Jaw clenching after sugammadex for muscle relaxation reversal
This trial tests whether a drug called sugammadex, which reverses muscle relaxation from anesthesia, might cause jaw clenching in some people. The study will watch for this effect during routine surgery to better understand the risk.
Iksan, Jeonbuk-doAges 19–70 - NCT07656467Enrolling by invitation
Masseter muscle thickness and feeding in preterm infants
This study uses ultrasound to measure the thickness of a jaw muscle that helps with sucking, to see if it relates to how well preterm babies learn to bottle-feed.
Lodz, Łódź VoivodeshipAges 6 months–7 months - NCT07237087Recruiting
Heat and percussion therapy for jaw muscle stiffness
This study tests whether heat or a massage gun can reduce jaw muscle stiffness. If you are healthy and have no jaw problems, you may be able to join.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT07548502Recruiting
Night Guard Effect on Jaw Muscle Size in Children With Teeth Grinding
This study looks at whether wearing a night guard (a protective dental device) can help reduce jaw muscle thickness in children who grind their teeth at night. Researchers will measure changes in the masseter muscle, which is the main chewing muscle in your jaw.
NiğdeAges 10–12 - NCT07611643Recruiting
Treating Jaw Clenching and Facial Pain With a Custom Bite Guard
This study tests whether a custom-made bite guard (called an occlusal splint) can help relieve jaw and facial pain caused by temporomandibular disorders—conditions affecting the jaw joint and muscles. Researchers will monitor how well the treatment works and how it affects your symptoms.
Roma, RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT05447338Recruiting
Manual therapy for neck pain with limited neck motion
This trial tests whether hands-on/manual physical therapy helps people with neck pain and reduced neck movement. It may help improve motion and reduce symptoms if your neck pain fits the trial’s type and severity.
CórdobaAges 25–50 - NCT07082972RecruitingPhase 4
Study of splint therapy and Botox for jaw muscle pain
This trial compares two treatments—a dental splint and Botox injections into the jaw muscle (masseter)—to see which one better relaxes head and neck muscles in people with myofascial pain syndrome. It may help you if you have facial pain related to muscle tension.
Istanbul, VeznecilerAges 18–55

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for masseter muscle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 11 recruiting masseter muscle studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a masseter muscle trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a masseter muscle trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
