Platelet injections for TMJ surgery recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) during TMJ surgery helps with recovery. It aims to see if these treatments improve healing after jaw joint surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You had surgery on one or both jaw joints (TMJ) using a tiny camera.
- You received a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) injection during that surgery.

This study tests whether injecting iPRF (a therapy made from your blood growth factors) into the jaw joint can reduce symptoms from mild to moderate jaw joint degeneration. It’s being compared against standard care for people who currently are not on other jaw-joint treatments.
This study tests whether injections of platelet-rich plasma (a substance made from your own blood) can reduce pain in the jaw muscles. If you have had jaw muscle pain for at least 3 months, this treatment might help.
This study compares two guided injection techniques—ultrasound and arthroscopy—to deliver platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a regenerative treatment, into the temporomandibular joint (the jaw joint). PRF may help reduce pain and improve jaw function in patients with disc displacement who haven't improved with conservative care like splints or physical therapy.
This trial compares two treatments for a jaw joint problem where the disc is out of place. One treatment is a procedure called arthroscopic surgery (ARS), the other is ARS with a joint washout and injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to help healing. This study aims to see which approach works better for pain and clicking.
This trial tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma exosomes) can help relieve long-term jaw joint pain and improve function. If you qualify, you would receive injections directly into your jaw area.
This study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can help knee arthritis in both younger and older adults. If you have knee pain from arthritis and haven't had other treatments recently, you might be able to join.
