Neck pain, teeth grinding, and mouth behaviors study
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at how chronic neck pain is linked to teeth grinding (bruxism) and other mouth-related habits. It aims to see if muscle thickness in your jaw is related to your neck pain.

This study looks at how teeth grinding (bruxism) is linked to pelvic pain, erectile function, and anxiety in young adult men. It aims to understand if these issues are connected, which could help develop better treatments.
This trial looks at how your head, neck, and jaw work together to understand why some people have more severe jaw joint (TMD) pain. If you have jaw pain, the findings may help researchers identify better treatments.
This study tests a biopsychosocial questionnaire (a survey about thoughts, daily life, and pain) for people with jaw-related headaches from temporomandibular disorder (TMD). It may help researchers better understand what influences headache severity and how to support treatment planning.
This trial tests behavioral techniques to help reduce harmful oral habits like teeth clenching or jaw tension, which can cause jaw pain and disorders. If you often clench or grind, this study may help you learn new habits to ease discomfort.
This trial looks at how long-lasting jaw (masticatory) muscle pain relates to the nervous system and emotional stress. It may help researchers understand why symptoms persist and guide future treatments.
This study looks at the thickness of the masseter muscle, a chewing muscle in your jaw, in people who have had neck pain for at least three months. It aims to see if there is a link between neck pain and jaw muscle size, which might help understand and treat neck pain better.
