Summary

Dysfunction of the jaw, associated with pain in the jaw or about the jaw in the face can be quite long lasting and debilitating. Dextrose injection with a small needle has been notably helpful in preliminary studies in reducing pain and improving jaw function. This randomized trial will compare dextrose injection with sterile water injection for temporomandibular(jaw) dysfunction, also known as TMD.
