Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a calcium gluconate injection into the jaw joint for people with painful jaw joint disc displacement that hasn't improved with other treatments. The injection may help reduce pain and improve jaw function.
This study tests a mixture of hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant) and platelet-rich fibrin (from your own blood) injected into the jaw joint to see if it helps people with a misaligned jaw disc and pain. It may improve jaw movement and reduce discomfort.
This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure (arthroscopic lysis and lavage) to clean out the jaw joint works better with or without an added injection of hyaluronic acid (a lubricating fluid). It is for people whose jaw joint is locked due to a displaced disc that does not reduce, and whose symptoms have not improved with other treatments.
This trial compares two ways of giving a treatment injection into the jaw joint for people with painful jaw joint problems. One method uses a small camera during a procedure called arthroscopy, and the other uses an ultrasound to guide the needle.
This trial tests whether one injection of hyaluronic acid, a substance that helps lubricate joints, can reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have knee pain and are looking for a non-surgical option, this study might be a good fit.
This study tests giving different medications directly into the jaw joint right after a washing-out procedure (arthrocentesis) to relieve pain, clicking, and limited mouth opening from TMJ dysfunction.
