Wearable device for jaw muscle pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a 24-hour wearable device that tracks jaw muscle activity to better understand and manage chronic jaw muscle pain. You would wear the device for a day to see how your muscles behave, which could help improve future treatments.

This study tests whether a physical self-regulation treatment (like relaxation or biofeedback) can help reduce chronic jaw muscle pain. It compares the treatment to a placebo (inactive) version to see if it works better.
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 looks at how well the body's natural pain control system works in people with long-term jaw pain (TMD). It compares people with and without jaw pain to better understand why some have trouble turning off pain signals.
This study uses machine learning and MRI scans to better diagnose jaw muscle pain, which could lead to more tailored treatments. If you have persistent jaw pain that hasn't responded to basic painkillers, this trial might help you find a clearer diagnosis.
This trial looks at how long-lasting jaw (masticatory) muscle pain relates to the nervous system and emotional stress. It may help researchers understand why symptoms persist and guide future treatments.
This study compares two ways of recording how your teeth come together: using a special jaw tracking device versus using a piece of paper that leaves marks. It helps find the best method for accurate bite registration, which is important for dental treatments like fillings or crowns.
