Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a small device placed inside the mouth can ease pain from braces. You'll receive either real or fake treatment with the TENS device to see if it helps with soreness after adjustments.

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 study tests two drug-free methods—gentle electrical stimulation (TENS) and high-frequency vibration—to see if they can reduce pain when braces are removed.
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of a nerve in your jaw can reduce pain and improve chewing, talking, and mouth opening for people with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).
This trial studies whether Orthopulse light therapy (a form of light treatment) can help during orthodontic treatment with fixed braces. It’s for adults who need braces for crowded front lower teeth, and it will compare outcomes during the alignment phase.
This trial uses a gentle electrical device on acupuncture points to study how it affects pain signals in the body. Healthy adults can join to help researchers understand a possible drug-free way to manage pain.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS or tDCS) can help reduce long-lasting pain in the face, jaw, or mouth. It's for people who have tried other treatments without enough relief.
