Platelet-rich plasma after jaw joint surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how well platelet-rich plasma (a substance made from your blood) helps recovery after jaw joint surgery. It may help reduce pain and improve healing.
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 your jaw joint (called arthroscopy).
- During that surgery, you received a platelet-rich plasma or platelet-rich fibrin injection.
- Your medical records and follow-up information are complete.

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 (PRP) — a substance made from your own blood — can reduce pain in the jaw muscles. If you have ongoing jaw muscle pain, this treatment might offer relief.
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 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 study tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (a concentration of your own blood cells that help healing) to the standard surgery for jaw cysts helps bone grow back faster and better.
This study tests whether using a concentrate of your own platelets (cells that help blood clot and heal) in the tooth socket after removal improves healing and reduces the risk of a jaw bone condition called MRONJ. It may be an option if you are at higher risk for MRONJ due to certain medications.
