This study compares two treatments for jaw joint (TMJ) pain: a hard mouth guard (splint) versus conservative care like pain relief and jaw exercises. If you have TMJ pain, this trial could help you find the most effective approach.
This study compares three types of mouth guards (splints) to find which works best for reducing jaw pain and improving function in people with TMJ disorders. One is traditionally made, one is 3D printed, and one is a new hybrid version.
This trial tests a dental splint (a custom mouthpiece) to see if it helps with jaw pain, muscle spasms, and chewing difficulties caused by temporomandibular disorders (TMD) or bruxism (teeth grinding).
