Botulinum toxin with extra muscle injection for jaw pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding an injection into a deeper jaw muscle improves pain relief from botulinum toxin treatment for jaw muscle pain. It may help people with chronic jaw pain that worsens with chewing or other jaw movements.

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 compares two treatments—Botox injections and magnesium sulfate injections—for people with long-lasting jaw muscle pain caused by trigger points (tender knots). The goal is to see which treatment works better to relieve pain and improve jaw function.
This study compares two different treatments for people who have pain in their jaw muscles (not the joint itself). It aims to find which treatment works better for muscle-related temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
This trial tests whether botulinum toxin (Botox) injections can reduce pain in the jaw muscles for people with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders that haven't improved with other treatments. It may help if you have ongoing jaw pain and muscle tightness.
This trial compares two treatments—a dental splint and Botox injections into the jaw muscle (masseter)—to see which one better relaxes head and neck muscles in people with myofascial pain syndrome. It may help you if you have facial pain related to muscle tension.
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.
