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 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 study tests if Botox injections can reduce pain in the jaw muscles caused by a jaw joint disorder (TMD). If you have this type of pain and are interested in Botox treatment, you may be able to join.
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.
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.
