Efficacy of PRP Injections in Reducing Pain for Myogenous TMD Patients

2026年8月3日 更新者:Nikolaos Christidis、Karolinska Institutet

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections as Treatment for Myogenous Temporomandibular Disorders: A Randomized Clinical Trial

This study aims to evaluate whether intramuscular injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are more effective than isotonic saline in reducing pain and improving jaw function in individuals diagnosed with myogenous temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Myogenous TMD is a common source of orofacial muscle pain and functional limitation, and although conservative treatments help many patients, a significant proportion continue to experience persistent symptoms that affect daily life and quality of function.

PRP is an autologous, minimally invasive biologic concentrate enriched with platelets and bioactive molecules that may promote tissue repair and modulate inflammation, making it a promising option for managing muscle-related pain conditions. However, evidence from well-controlled randomized clinical trials in myogenous TMD remains limited.

In this double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial, participants will receive two intramuscular injections-either PRP or saline-administered one month apart. Follow-up assessments will occur at 1, 3, and 6 months using standardized and validated measures of pain intensity, pain sensitivity, mandibular function, and psychosocial factors.

The results of this study may help determine the clinical value of PRP for myogenous TMD and contribute to future standardization of regenerative treatment protocols in orofacial pain management.

实验性的:PRP Injection

PRP Injection (Experimental)

Arm Description:

Participants in this arm will receive intramuscular injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the masseter muscles. PRP is prepared using a standardized two-step centrifugation protocol to obtain the platelet-rich fraction. Each session includes injections at three marked points per masseter muscle, with 0.3 mL injected per point (total 1.8 mL per session). A second PRP injection will be administered at the 1-month follow-up visit. All procedures are performed under double-blind conditions.

Saline Injection (Placebo Comparator)

Arm Description:

Participants in this arm will receive intramuscular injections of isotonic 0.9% saline into the masseter muscles. The injection technique, number of points (three per masseter), volume per point (0.3 mL), and needle type are identical to the PRP arm to maintain procedural consistency. A second saline injection will be administered at the 1-month follow-up visit. All proc
