Study of normal and abnormal jaw joint motion using real-time MRI
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study uses real-time MRI to take detailed images of your jaw joint (the temporomandibular joint) to better understand its normal and painful variations. It may help if you have jaw pain or clicking, but you don't need to have a problem to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You need to be able to understand and follow instructions given by the research team.
- You must have health insurance or be covered by a social security plan.
- You cannot have large metal dental work, like bridges or crowns.
- You must not have lost more than 5 teeth.
- You should not be afraid of enclosed spaces (claustrophobia) or have any other reason that prevents an MRI.

This study looks at whether manual therapy (hands-on treatment) and specific exercises can improve jaw movement and head posture in people with a misaligned bite. If you qualify, you may receive these treatments and help researchers learn what works best.
This study tests whether a special dental MRI can give useful pictures to diagnose jaw joint problems, tooth-related tissue changes, and gum/inflammation issues, and to help plan some dental implant treatments. If you need imaging for these reasons, the trial may help doctors choose the best next treatment by using clearer, dedicated scans.
This trial uses MRI scans to study the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint) in people with a specific type of jaw pain where the disk slips out of place. The goal is to better understand the joint's structure, which may help guide future treatments.
This trial tests a new 4D virtual simulator to help diagnose disc displacement in the jaw joint. If you have been referred for an MRI of your jaw joints, this study may help improve how these problems are detected.
This trial uses a special MRI scan to measure jaw muscle pain. It aims to better understand this condition and may help improve future treatments.
This study compares two different ways to diagnose jaw joint (TMJ) problems: a jaw-motion analyzer and an MRI. It aims to see which method is more accurate for people with ongoing face or jaw pain.
