MRI study for jaw muscle pain
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial uses a special MRI scan to measure jaw muscle pain. It aims to better understand this condition and may help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have jaw muscle pain that fits a specific pattern (normal, latent, or active).
- You can lie still in an MRI machine (no metal implants, pacemakers, or severe claustrophobia).

This study uses MRI scans to see how Botox affects jaw muscle pain. It may help people with pain from jaw muscle spasms.
This trial uses MRI scans to study the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint) in people with a specific type of jaw pain where the disk slips out of place. The goal is to better understand the joint's structure, which may help guide future treatments.
This study looks at brain scans to understand how chronic jaw pain affects the brain. You would have an MRI while doing simple tasks, which may help improve future treatments for jaw pain.
This study tests whether a special dental MRI can give useful pictures to diagnose jaw joint problems, tooth-related tissue changes, and gum/inflammation issues, and to help plan some dental implant treatments. If you need imaging for these reasons, the trial may help doctors choose the best next treatment by using clearer, dedicated scans.
This study uses machine learning and MRI scans to better diagnose jaw muscle pain, which could lead to more tailored treatments. If you have persistent jaw pain that hasn't responded to basic painkillers, this trial might help you find a clearer diagnosis.
This study uses real-time MRI to take detailed images of your jaw joint (the temporomandibular joint) to better understand its normal and painful variations. It may help if you have jaw pain or clicking, but you don't need to have a problem to join.
