Summary
This trial will include patients with chronic jaw muscle pain who will be randomly assigned to receive a behavioral intervention called Physical Self-Regulation or a control intervention. Both interventions will be conducted remotely via telehealth
Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients seeking treatment for chronic pain in the jaw muscles, known as TMJ Dysfunction. Participants must be willing to receive therapy via telehealth and provide follow-up data after the sessions. Specific details on who can or cannot participate are not provided.
What is being tested?
The study compares a brief behavioral intervention called Physical Self-Regulation (PSR) with a control intervention, both delivered through telehealth. Each participant receives two sessions of their assigned intervention, with follow-ups at two weeks and three months to assess feasibility and effectiveness.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive psychological interventions delivered via telehealth, significant physical side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or fatigue related to discussing their condition.
