Splint therapy for tinnitus linked to jaw joint issues
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if a custom mouthpiece (occlusal splint) can relieve ringing in the ears (tinnitus) that started along with jaw or face pain (TMD). It aims to see if stabilizing the jaw helps reduce both the noise in your ears and the discomfort.
