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)

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 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 whether injections of platelet-rich plasma (a substance made from your own blood) can reduce pain in the jaw muscles. If you have had jaw muscle pain for at least 3 months, this treatment might help.
This trial tests injecting medication directly into the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)—the hinge joint in front of your ear where your jaw moves—to treat jaw pain, clicking, or difficulty opening your mouth. The goal is to reduce these symptoms and improve how well your jaw works.
This trial tests a new treatment for knee osteoarthritis using a concentrated sample of your own bone marrow cells. It compares this to a standard treatment to see if it helps reduce pain and improve function.
This trial tests whether acupuncture can help relieve jaw pain caused by a condition called temporomandibular disorder (TMD). If you've had jaw pain for at least 3 months and are between 18 and 70, you may be able to join.
