Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
