Testing botulinum toxin A for jaw muscle pain
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
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.

This trial tests whether Botox injections can reduce jaw and face muscle pain in people with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It is for those who have had moderate to severe pain for at least 3 months and have not received Botox recently.
This study tests whether injections of platelet-rich plasma (a substance made from your own blood) can reduce pain in the jaw muscles. If you have had jaw muscle pain for at least 3 months, this treatment might help.
This study tests if Botox injections can reduce pain in the jaw muscles caused by a jaw joint disorder (TMD). If you have this type of pain and are interested in Botox treatment, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two treatments—a dental splint and Botox injections into the jaw muscle (masseter)—to see which one better relaxes head and neck muscles in people with myofascial pain syndrome. It may help you if you have facial pain related to muscle tension.
This study tests whether adding an injection into the medial pterygoid muscle (a muscle in your jaw) to the usual botox treatment improves pain relief for people with jaw muscle pain. It may help if you have chronic jaw pain that gets worse with chewing or other jaw movements.
This trial compares two treatments for people with long-lasting TMJ (jaw joint) disorders that haven't improved with conservative care. One treatment is a joint washing procedure, the other is a botox injection into the jaw muscles.
