TMJ and tinnitus connection study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how jaw joint problems (TMD) might be related to ringing in the ears (tinnitus). Participants will get a CBCT scan (a type of 3D X-ray) and hearing tests to see if there is a link.

This trial tests if a custom mouthpiece (occlusal splint) can relieve ringing in the ears (tinnitus) that started along with jaw or face pain (TMD). It aims to see if stabilizing the jaw helps reduce both the noise in your ears and the discomfort.
This study tests a physical therapy approach for people whose tinnitus (ringing in the ears) can be changed by moving their head, neck, or jaw. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce the bothersome nature of the sound.
This study tests whether body awareness therapy (gentle exercises that help you notice how your body moves and feels) can reduce jaw pain, improve function, and help with related emotional stress. It is for people with long-term jaw joint problems.
This study looks at how tinnitus affects the brain, thinking, and emotional well-being. It compares people with chronic tinnitus to people without tinnitus (including a group related to a specific type of epilepsy surgery).
This study tests a combination of treatments for tinnitus that can be changed by moving your jaw, neck, or head. It aims to see if a special therapy including manual techniques, education, and exercises reduces tinnitus more than standard care alone.
This trial looks at how your head, neck, and jaw work together to understand why some people have more severe jaw joint (TMD) pain. If you have jaw pain, the findings may help researchers identify better treatments.
