Shock wave therapy for jaw muscle pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether focused shock wave treatment can reduce chronic jaw pain caused by jaw muscle problems. You might qualify if you have moderate to severe temporomandibular (jaw) pain for at least 3 months.

This trial tests whether combining hands-on jaw treatment with a vagus nerve stimulator can reduce jaw muscle pain and improve jaw movement. It may help people whose jaw pain has been present recently and who have not had recent physiotherapy.
This trial tests if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) can reduce long-lasting jaw and face pain caused by temporomandibular disorders. It might help people who have had pain for over six months and rate their pain as high.
This study tests whether body awareness therapy (gentle exercises that help you notice how your body moves and feels) can reduce jaw pain, improve function, and help with related emotional stress. It is for people with long-term jaw joint problems.
This trial compares two treatments for long-lasting jaw or face pain: physiotherapy alone versus physiotherapy combined with education about how pain works. It aims to find which approach helps more.
This trial tests if focused shockwave therapy can help people with long-term neck and shoulder pain caused by tight muscles in the upper back. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for easing pain and improving daily activities.
This trial tests whether focused shockwave therapy (a non-surgical treatment) can reduce knee arthritis pain. It specifically targets people whose MRI shows a small bone problem in one area of the knee.
