Comparison of Cannabinoids to Placebo in Management of TMJ Pain and Myofascial Pain in the TMJ Region
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to determine whether the cannabinoids taken orally in the form of cannabidiol (CBD oil-a major non-psychoactive component of marijuana) or placebo (hemp oil) will provide pain relief and improved jaw function in those who suffer from either myofascial pain disorder and/or arthralgia of the temporomandibular region. The study hypothesis is that CBD oil is superior to placebo.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in baseline in pain, as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) [Baseline, 3 weeks, 7 weeks, and 11 weeks]
Scores are measured from 1-100mm VAS. The VAS ranges from 0 to 100 with O indicating no pain and higher scores indicating a greater pain.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in jaw functional limitations as measured by the jaw functional limitation scale. [Baseline, 3 weeks, 7 weeks, and 11 weeks]
Scores are measured from 5 (lowest) to 25 (highest). Higher scores reflect better jaw function.
