Ultrasound vs. arthroscopic guided platelet-rich fibrin for jaw joint pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Ear, nose & throat, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a mixture of hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant) and platelet-rich fibrin (from your own blood) injected into the jaw joint to see if it helps people with a misaligned jaw disc and pain. It may improve jaw movement and reduce discomfort.
This study compares two jaw treatments for people with a clicking or painful jaw joint. One uses a simple procedure to wash out the joint and inject a healing substance, which may help improve your symptoms.
This trial compares two ways of giving a treatment injection into the jaw joint for people with painful jaw joint problems. One method uses a small camera during a procedure called arthroscopy, and the other uses an ultrasound to guide the needle.
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 compares two minimally invasive injection treatments for a common jaw joint problem that causes clicking, pain, or limited mouth opening. One uses your own fat cells and the other uses platelets from your blood to help the joint heal and improve movement.
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.
