Blood-derived treatment for chronic jaw pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
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.
