Bruxism and electrical current for jaw pain relief
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a type of mild electrical current (called diadinamic current) can help relieve jaw pain caused by bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching). It is for adults who have not tried other treatments for this pain.

This study compares two non-drug treatments—sensory training and exercise therapy—to help people who clench or grind their teeth while awake. It aims to reduce jaw pain and improve daytime function.
This study tests whether a custom-made bite guard (called an occlusal splint) can help relieve jaw and facial pain caused by temporomandibular disorders—conditions affecting the jaw joint and muscles. Researchers will monitor how well the treatment works and how it affects your symptoms.
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.
