Botox For Tmjd In Clinical Trials Currently
Posted: 01-21-04 18:30pm

Well, has anyone had botox for their tmjd?
If so, how did you fair? Also, you may
be interested to know that if you liked it
and wanted to continue doing it, that one
day soon it may be covered by insurance.
This is because they are currently
conducting clinical trials on the use of
botox for the management of pain and
dysfunction associated with tmjd. They
are already in their second phase. If it
gets approval, then I don't see how
insurance companies can refuse to cover
this form of treatment if they cover other
forms.

Botox For Tmj

I've used botox injections for tmj pain
management for several years. It has
worked wonderfully for me. I've had
multiple surgeries (5) and have had both
discs replaced. Splints, physical
therapy, oral medications, etc. Did not
work for me. Botox has been a lifesaver.
I have injections every 3-4 months. It
is quite costly and I hope that the use of
botox for tmj is medically approved in the
near future!

Hi, I read your post and am very
intererested in hearing a little more
about how the botox worked for you.
I've suffered for thirty years and have
tried everything including surgery.
I've even recently quit my job because i'm
getting worse.... Basically I have no
life at all right now. Can you please
tell me how you got started and how it
affected you.

I read with interest your experience on
botox. I have been suffering from tmj
since last 4 years. I would very much
like to contact the doctor who treated you
with botox. I will appreciate if I could
have name and contact details.

Tmj?

I have pain in my jaw. The pain travels
up my jaw to my ear (ear infection). In
the morning it feels like my teeth lower
jaw are miss aliened some how. I've had
this for approx two months, it went away.
I now, two ( 2) months later have it
again. I open my mouth and have pain
radiationg into my right ear, severe pain
and hurts when I eat, etc. I don't know
if it's tmj or another problem? If it's
tmj, does Botox correct this problem?

Is Anyone Using Botox Now?

Some of these posts are old and the email
address listed for Ecmorris is invalid.
Anyone have any more info on this? I read
a magazine article in a current issue that
states that trials are STILL going on.
Also, the problem with most insurances is
if you list TMJD as the diagnosis there is
limited coverage for any kind of TMJ
treatment. I am going to PT, couldn't
stand the oral appliance and have been
miserable for months with pain that just
won't quit and limitations that you are
all aware of.

TMJ

I started having problems after I bit into
a sandwich a bit too big for my
mouth.....the pain has gotten worse, I had
this happen to me in January 7 months ago.
My doctor diagnosed TMJ, and told me to
just eat soft foods, etc., how long can
you keep on doing that? Everytime I move
my jaw it clicks, sometimes worse than
other times. I am waiting for a referral
to a specialist. As for the Botox, that
is an expensive way to go, but what the
heck, you can also get your face done at
the same time. Does anyone know when they
inject the botox? Thanks for reading
about my problem.

not only is it expensive--its
temporary---you can eat soft foods for as
long as you want---i did it for 15 years
and still do it to a certain extent. I can
help you get to a doctor that will " fix"
the problem--just let me know--just pm me
or email me

I had botox injections today and am quite
confident i will have great results. I
know it is not a cure to the problem but
something has to be done when you are in
excrutiating pain on a daily basis. Drugs
are not any better as you have to deal
with the side effects. So if you can find
a reputable dr. that does botox injections
then go and have a consultation with him.

botox is a drug and you still have to deal
with side effects

BOTOX INJECTIONS & TMJ

I had 3 botox injections in my tmj on the
24th July 2008. I've had pain in my tmj
for 13 years & hope it will give me
some relief. I live in the UK & it
took me 3 years of going to my doctor
before being taken seriously over my tmj
problem which started soon after wisdom
teeth extraction. I haven't slept properly
for most of those 13 years & have lost
jobs over being in pain, tired &
altogether miserable.

AMJ how are you doing after having had
botox? I had eight injections in all. Two
to each left and right jaw and temple
area. I felt better the first week but not
much more than that yet. I go for a check
up with my pain specialist next week. i
think i will probably need more
injections.\
No side effects from this Dyan. you don't
seem to be in favour of trying botox but
honestly when one is in severe pain day
after day for several years, then you try
anythiing to try to feel better. i am out
of options.

actually you arent out of options--there
are many options that many dont know about
--no im not in favor of injecting anything
and there are side effects--as with any
drugs--they just arent known at the
present
