Radiation treatment study for TMJ arthritis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how radiotherapy (radiation treatment) may help people with arthritis in the jaw joint (TMJ). It will only consider patients whose TMJ arthritis was diagnosed by a dentist or surgeon and who have not had radiation to that area before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have arthritis in your jaw joint (TMJ).
- A dentist or surgeon who treats jaw problems has already diagnosed your TMJ arthritis.
- You are age 50 or older.
- You have NOT had any radiation treatment to the TMJ/jaw joint area before.

This study tests whether giving a small amount of radiation to an osteoarthritis joint can improve symptoms. It’s designed for people who are newly starting this kind of treatment and can return for follow-up visits.
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.
This study tests whether low-dose radiation can ease joint pain and swelling caused by immunotherapy cancer treatment. It aims to help people with arthritis-like symptoms in up to three joints get relief without using more strong medications.
This trial compares two ways of giving a treatment injection into the jaw joint for people with painful jaw joint problems. One method uses a small camera during a procedure called arthroscopy, and the other uses an ultrasound to guide the needle.
This study tests a low-dose radiation treatment for knee osteoarthritis that might reduce pain and improve knee function. If you have been dealing with constant or intermittent knee pain and meet the other criteria, this could be an option for you.
This study tests whether injecting your own bone marrow cells into your jaw joint during a minimally invasive procedure can reduce pain and improve jaw function better than arthroscopy alone. It's for people with significant jaw pain that hasn't improved with conservative treatments like NSAIDs, physical therapy, and bite splints.
