Botox for jaw fractures near the joint
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether guided Botox (botulinum toxin) injections into the chewing muscles can help treat certain types of jaw fractures near the joint. It may be an option if you have a mild to moderate break on one side and your bite is stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a broken jaw on one side only (the condyle or just below it) – not both sides.
- The broken bone is only slightly or moderately out of place (less than 45 degrees).
- Your teeth fit together normally when you bite, without your jaw shifting to one side.
- You have at least half of your teeth remaining.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, allergic to Botox, or have an infection where the injection would go.
- You do not have a motor neuron disease (like ALS).
