Brief description of study
DO YOU SUFFER FROM TMD (temporomandibular disorders)?
Help us test a treatment that may reduce your jaw pain and other symptoms of TMD.
Researchers at the IU School of Dentistry are looking for volunteers to take part in a study to test a medication (rimegepant) - which is already approved by the FDA for the treatment and prevention of migraine - to learn how well it works and how safe it is for treating the symptoms of TMD.
People with TMD may have:
- Pain in the face or jaw
- Reduced movement of the jaw
- Clicking in the joint during motion
Health insurance is not required to participate and the investigational drug, plus all study-related assessments and care, will be provided at no cost to you.
