This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure (arthroscopic lysis and lavage) to clean out the jaw joint works better with or without an added injection of hyaluronic acid (a lubricating fluid). It is for people whose jaw joint is locked due to a displaced disc that does not reduce, and whose symptoms have not improved with other treatments.
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 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 tests a new treatment for a common jaw joint problem called disc displacement. It compares a concentrated growth factor from your own blood to standard care to see which helps more with pain and jaw movement.
This trial tests a calcium gluconate injection into the jaw joint for people with painful jaw joint disc displacement that hasn't improved with other treatments. The injection may help reduce pain and improve jaw function.
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.
