PRF injections for mild to moderate jaw joint wear
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether injecting iPRF (a therapy made from your blood growth factors) into the jaw joint can reduce symptoms from mild to moderate jaw joint degeneration. It’s being compared against standard care for people who currently are not on other jaw-joint treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how well platelet-rich plasma (a substance made from your blood) helps recovery after jaw joint surgery. It may help reduce pain and improve healing.
This trial tests a calcium gluconate injection into the jaw joint for people with painful jaw joint disc displacement that hasn't improved with other treatments. The injection may help reduce pain and improve jaw function.
This trial tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma exosomes) can help relieve long-term jaw joint pain and improve function. If you qualify, you would receive injections directly into your jaw area.
This study compares two ways of giving a shot of platelet-rich fibrin (a substance made from your own blood that may help healing) into the jaw joint to treat pain and limited movement from a displaced disc. It will help find out if using ultrasound or arthroscopy to guide the injection works better.
This study tests whether injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — a substance made from your own blood — can reduce pain in the jaw muscles. If you have ongoing jaw muscle pain, this treatment might offer relief.
This trial tests a treatment for deep gum disease pockets using a combination of your own blood components (injectable platelet-rich fibrin) and a bone graft material. It aims to help regenerate bone lost to periodontitis.
