Temporomandibular Joint Disorders clinical trials
The registry lists 591 studies for Temporomandibular Joint Disorders across more than 10 countries. 149 are recruiting or about to start. 474 of them are mainly about Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (how this is decided). Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-10. Counting its narrower condition Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome too: 619 studies, 155 open.
ClinicalTrials.gov finds 746 studies for Temporomandibular Joint Disorders. How that becomes 591 here
This page counts the studies the registry files under Temporomandibular Joint Disorders, and those it files under no condition that list Temporomandibular Joint Disordersthemselves. Each study its search finds is placed by how the registry filed it and by the conditions it lists. ClinicalTrials.gov counts as of Nov 8, 2026. How condition pages count
- 746Found by its condition searchIt reads the conditions a study lists and their synonyms, and also titles and keywords.
- −28Filed under a narrower condition, counted on its own pageTemporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome 28
- −9List Temporomandibular Joint Disorders as a condition, but the registry did not file them under itMost often written as “Myogenic Temporomandibular Joint Disorders” (2), “Temporomandibular Disorder Syndrome” (1), and “Laser and LED Therapy on Elderly Individuals With Temporomandibular Disorder” (1). The registry filed 6 of them under no condition at all, and the others under other conditions only, most often Facial Pain (2) and Pain (1).

How long Temporomandibular Joint Disorders studies take
Of 14 phase 2 interventional studies under Temporomandibular Joint Disorders, half reached primary completion within 22 months of starting, counting those still running.
| Start to primary completion | Every sponsor | Industry | Non-industry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 2 | 22 mo7–39 · 14 studies | — | — |
| Interventional, no phase | 10 mo5–21 · 246 studies | — | 11 mo5–21 · 242 studies |
| Observational | 12 mo5–30 · 59 studies | — | 12 mo4–30 · 57 studies |
Each figure is the month by which half the studies had reached primary completion, with the range in which the middle half did. Studies still running count until their last registry update; studies that stopped early are left out. Phase 1 includes early phase 1; observational means prospective or not stated, as retrospective and cross-sectional studies date a window of data rather than a study. How these figures are worked out
