Laser therapy for one-sided jaw muscle pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special high-intensity laser can reduce long-term jaw muscle pain on one side. It is for adults who have had this pain for at least 3 months and have trouble opening their mouth fully.

This study tests whether low-level laser therapy can improve how far you can open your jaw and changes in jaw muscle activity in people with one-sided jaw muscle temporomandibular disorder (TMD). It may help reduce jaw movement limits related to that condition.
This study compares two types of laser treatment to help people with chronic jaw muscle pain (myofascial pain). Researchers want to see which laser approach works better at reducing pain and improving jaw function.
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 trial tests whether specific light wavelengths can reduce chronic jaw and temple muscle pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments like medications, physical therapy, or bite guards. Light therapy is applied directly to the painful muscles.
This study tests whether low-level laser therapy combined with special jaw exercises (Rocabado's approach) can help people with painful jaw joint problems who have trouble opening their mouth wide. It aims to reduce pain and improve jaw movement.
This trial tests if laser therapy can help relieve pain and improve function in people with early-stage temporomandibular disorder (TMD), focusing on a deep muscle that controls jaw movement.
