Islamabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 19–44 - NCT07288411Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for temporomandibular joint disorders
This study tests if a gentle device that stimulates a nerve in your neck (the vagus nerve) can reduce jaw pain and improve how your jaw moves. It could offer a new, non-drug option for people with TMJ disorders.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–50 - NCT05754190Recruiting
Smartphone study of mood and symptoms in people with pain
This study uses a smartphone app to track daily pain and mood changes over about 4 months. It’s meant to learn patterns that could help better understand how mood and pain affect each other.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT06782191Recruiting
Arthroscopic treatments for jaw joint disc displacement
This trial tests two types of jaw joint surgery for people with a displaced disc that still moves. It compares a simpler procedure (flushing the joint) with a more involved one (surgical repair) to see which helps more with pain and jaw function.
HuddingeAges 18 years+ - NCT06951178Enrolling by invitation
Long-term safety of a custom jaw joint implant
This study checks the long-term safety and how well a new jaw joint implant (for the TMJ) works. It follows patients who are already getting this implant to see how they do over time.

Dental MRI to help diagnose jaw, gum, and tooth problems
This study tests whether a special dental MRI can give useful pictures to diagnose jaw joint problems, tooth-related tissue changes, and gum/inflammation issues, and to help plan some dental implant treatments. If you need imaging for these reasons, the trial may help doctors choose the best next treatment by using clearer, dedicated scans.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07830836Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for temporomandibular joint disorders?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 55 recruiting temporomandibular joint disorders 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 temporomandibular joint disorders 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 temporomandibular joint disorders 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.
