Allocetra injection for jaw joint arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new injection called Allocetra directly into the jaw joint to treat pain and inflammation in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis. Eligible participants must have MRI-confirmed inflammation and meet basic health requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in your jaw joint (TMJ).
- An MRI of your jaw joint shows signs of inflammation.
- Your blood tests (complete blood count, electrolytes, kidney and liver function) are within normal limits.
- You have not had an injection in the jaw joint within the past 3 months.
- You have not had surgery or a significant injury to the jaw joint.

This study tests whether injecting iPRF (a therapy made from your blood growth factors) into the jaw joint can reduce symptoms from mild to moderate jaw joint degeneration. It’s being compared against standard care for people who currently are not on other jaw-joint treatments.
This study tests a new cell-based injection (Allocetra) directly into the knee joint for people with moderate osteoarthritis who haven't benefited from other treatments. The goal is to reduce pain and improve knee function.
This trial compares two methods of injecting medicine into the jaw joint (TMJ) to treat pain and limited mouth opening. It aims to see which technique works better for people who haven't improved with simple treatments like a soft diet or splint therapy.
This trial tests whether injecting a mix of triamcinolone (a steroid) and lidocaine (a numbing agent) into trigger points in the masseter muscle (a jaw muscle) provides better pain relief than lidocaine alone. It is for people with jaw muscle pain who are not taking other pain or muscle medications.
This trial tests injecting medication directly into the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)—the hinge joint in front of your ear where your jaw moves—to treat jaw pain, clicking, or difficulty opening your mouth. The goal is to reduce these symptoms and improve how well your jaw works.
This trial tests two types of hyaluronic acid (high vs low molecular weight) given during a jaw joint procedure (arthrocentesis) to see which better relieves pain and improves jaw function in people with TMJ disorders.
