This trial compares two injections (a saltwater solution and a sugar solution) to see which one works better for reducing jaw joint pain and clicking. It may help people whose jaw problems haven't improved with other treatments.
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 compares two ways of giving a shot of platelet-rich fibrin (a substance made from your own blood that may help healing) into the jaw joint to treat pain and limited movement from a displaced disc. It will help find out if using ultrasound or arthroscopy to guide the injection works better.
This trial compares two types of surgery to treat a common jaw joint problem where the disc slips out of place. It looks at which procedure works better for reducing pain and improving function.
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.
This study compares two treatments for a common jaw joint problem: injecting a sugar-water solution into the joint versus a simple joint washing procedure (arthrocentesis). Both aim to reduce pain and improve jaw movement for people who haven't found relief from conservative therapy.
