Bone Marrow Treatment for Jaw Joint Pain Relief
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether injecting your own bone marrow cells into your jaw joint during a minimally invasive procedure can reduce pain and improve jaw function better than arthroscopy alone. It's for people with significant jaw pain that hasn't improved with conservative treatments like NSAIDs, physical therapy, and bite splints.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have moderate to severe jaw pain (at least 30 out of 100 on a pain scale) despite trying conservative treatments for at least 30 days
- You do not have fibromyalgia, widespread neuropathic pain, or primary myofascial pain (muscle-based pain)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have no recent traumatic injury to your jaw (within the past 12 months)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study tests whether a combination of two medicines (triamcinolone and lidocaine) injected into the jaw muscle (masseter) helps reduce jaw pain better than a placebo. It's a randomized trial, meaning participants are assigned by chance to get the active injection or a dummy injection.
This trial uses a special MRI scan to measure jaw muscle pain. It aims to better understand this condition and may help improve future treatments.
This study tests a treatment for knee arthritis using cells from your own bone marrow. It aims to see if this treatment can relieve pain and improve function in people with arthritis in both knees.
This study tests whether acupuncture can reduce jaw pain caused by a common jaw joint disorder (TMD). If you have had jaw pain for at least 3 months, this treatment might offer relief without the side effects of medication.
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.
