Neck and jaw mobility in people with jaw disorders
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies how neck movement relates to jaw movement in people with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. It may help understand if improving neck motion can help jaw problems.
