Platelet injections for jaw muscle pain
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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 studies whether botulinum toxin A (a type of muscle-relaxing medicine) can reduce jaw muscle pain and help explain why it happens. It focuses on people with specific jaw muscle pain patterns and tests outcomes after injection/biopsy.
This trial tests whether Botox injections can reduce jaw and face muscle pain in people with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It is for those who have had moderate to severe pain for at least 3 months and have not received Botox recently.
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 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 looks at whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) during TMJ surgery helps with recovery. It aims to see if these treatments improve healing after jaw joint surgery.
This study tests whether adding an injection into the medial pterygoid muscle (a muscle in your jaw) to the usual botox treatment improves pain relief for people with jaw muscle pain. It may help if you have chronic jaw pain that gets worse with chewing or other jaw movements.
