Home-based exercises with balance training for TMJ disorder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a home-based exercise program (done over video) that combines jaw exercises with balance and thinking tasks, to see if it improves TMJ dysfunction. If you have TMJ pain or clicking and can do remote sessions, this might help you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a diagnosis of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction (a problem with the joint that connects your jaw to your skull).
- You should not have any nerve, bone, or whole-body condition that affects your balance.
- You need to be able to take part in a home-based program done over video calls (telehealth).
- You haven't had physical therapy for your TMJ problem before.
- You should not have had jaw or dental surgery in the past 6 months.
- You should not be taking medications like sedatives that could affect your balance.

This trial tests a remote (telehealth) rehabilitation program to help reduce pain caused by temporomandibular joint (jaw joint) problems. It may help you if you’ve had facial/jaw-related pain for months and have a related diagnosis.
This study tests whether specific exercises can reduce pain and improve jaw and tongue function in people with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). It may help if you have jaw pain or clicking and have not had recent neck or jaw therapy.
This trial tests whether combining a treatment called EMG-biofeedback (a way to learn to relax your jaw muscles using sensors) with a program of exercises can reduce jaw pain and improve jaw function. If you have long-lasting jaw muscle pain, this might be a helpful non-drug option to explore.
This study tests whether hands-on therapy from a clinician or simple exercises done at home better relieve pain in the jaw joint (TMJ) and neck for people who have had this pain for at least 3 months.
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 tests a physiotherapy program to see if it reduces jaw joint pain and tenderness. It might help you if you have persistent jaw pain on one side of your face.
