New treatment approach for jaw joint problems
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies a “serial” (step-by-step) treatment plan for temporomandibular disorders (TMJ), which can cause pain, clicking, and trouble opening your mouth. It may help by improving how your jaw joint moves and reducing symptoms.
