Physiotherapy program for jaw pain in hEDS
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
