Hyaluronic acid and platelet gel for jaw joint disc pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- The disc in your jaw joint moves out of place but goes back in when you open your mouth.
- You have pain in your jaw joint.
- Your mouth opening is limited (you cannot open as wide as normal).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two guided injection techniques—ultrasound and arthroscopy—to deliver platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a regenerative treatment, into the temporomandibular joint (the jaw joint). PRF may help reduce pain and improve jaw function in patients with disc displacement who haven't improved with conservative care like splints or physical therapy.
This trial compares two treatments for a jaw joint problem where the disc is out of place. One treatment is a procedure called arthroscopic surgery (ARS), the other is ARS with a joint washout and injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to help healing. This study aims to see which approach works better for pain and clicking.
This trial compares two types of injections (hypertonic saline and dextrose) to see which one works better for painful jaw clicking and related discomfort. It may help if other treatments (like a mouthguard or physical therapy) haven't worked.
This trial tests a minimally invasive jaw surgery (arthroscopy) to treat a specific jaw disc problem that hasn't improved with conservative treatments like physical therapy or mouth guards. Half of patients will also receive a hyaluronic acid injection, which may reduce inflammation and improve jaw function.
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 compares two methods of injecting medicine into the jaw joint (TMJ) to treat pain and limited mouth opening. It aims to see which technique works better for people who haven't improved with simple treatments like a soft diet or splint therapy.
