Recruiting studies
- NCT07129096Enrolling by invitation
Digital relaxation training for jaw pain
This study tests if a digital relaxation program can help reduce jaw pain caused by temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It may be a good option if you have jaw muscle or joint pain and want to try a non-drug approach.
OuluAges Any age - NCT07090772Enrolling by invitation
Comparing jaw position methods for splint therapy in TMJ disc displacement
This trial tests different ways to determine the best jaw position for a mouth splint used to treat a specific type of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problem where the disc is out of place and doesn't go back. The goal is to see which method works better for reducing pain and improving jaw function.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 13–50 - NCT06975709Recruiting
Link between jaw pain and sleep problems
This study looks at how jaw joint disorders (TMJ) are related to sleep issues like insomnia, sleep apnea, or restless legs. If you have a sleep disorder, you may help researchers understand the connection.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07075276Recruiting
Comparing a new growth factor treatment to standard care for jaw joint pain
This study tests a new treatment for a common jaw joint problem called disc displacement. It compares a concentrated growth factor from your own blood to standard care to see which helps more with pain and jaw movement.
Damietta, New DamiettaAges 18–45 - NCT07022795Recruiting
Controlling oral habits for jaw pain relief
This trial tests behavioral techniques to help reduce harmful oral habits like teeth clenching or jaw tension, which can cause jaw pain and disorders. If you often clench or grind, this study may help you learn new habits to ease discomfort.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06782178Recruiting
Comparing two jaw joint procedures for limited mouth opening
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures (arthroscopy using a tiny camera vs. arthrocentesis using a needle to flush the joint) to see which works better for people with a displaced jaw disc that limits mouth opening. It might help you if simple treatments haven't worked.
HuddingeAges 18 years+ - NCT06782165Recruiting
Long-term follow-up of jaw joint surgery
This study follows up on patients who had jaw joint (TMJ) surgery. It looks at how the joint is doing after 6 months to predict long-term results. It may help understand if earlier checkups can guide care.
HuddingeAges 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+ - NCT06627855Recruiting
Fascial stretch method for jaw pain relief
This study tests a hands-on technique called the fascial distortion model to see if it works better than a sham treatment for reducing jaw, face, or neck pain. It may help if you have had a jaw disorder for at least 3 months.
Merkez, Karabük ProvinceAges 18–64 - NCT06214923Recruiting
Virtual reality for jaw pain caused by TMD
This study tests whether immersive virtual reality can reduce chronic jaw pain from Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD). It uses EEG to see how VR affects brain activity related to pain.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–88 - NCT05916235Recruiting
Laser light treatment for jaw pain from TMJ disorder
This trial tests whether a specific type of light therapy (called photobiomodulation/laser) can reduce pain from temporomandibular disorder (TMJ) affecting the jaw muscles. If you have jaw muscle pain for at least 3 months, the study will compare your symptoms while you follow the treatment and diary requirements.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT05757960Enrolling by invitation
Physiotherapy program for jaw pain in hEDS
This study tests a tailored physical therapy (physiotherapy) approach for jaw pain caused by temporomandibular disorder (TMD) in people with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). It may help reduce jaw muscle and joint pain and improve function.
MünsterAges 18 years+ - NCT05720065RecruitingPhase 2
Testing botulinum toxin A for jaw muscle pain
This trial studies whether botulinum toxin A (a type of muscle-relaxing medicine) can reduce jaw muscle pain and help explain why it happens. It focuses on people with specific jaw muscle pain patterns and tests outcomes after injection/biopsy.
Huddinge, Stockholm CountyAges 20–45 - NCT05676827Enrolling by invitation
Study pain and stress in people with long-term jaw muscle pain
This trial looks at how long-lasting jaw (masticatory) muscle pain relates to the nervous system and emotional stress. It may help researchers understand why symptoms persist and guide future treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for tmd?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 38 recruiting tmd 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 tmd 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 tmd 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.
