Jaw study: Do you have a healthy or problematic jaw?

This study aims to explore the effect that longstanding jaw problems have on jaw function.

This will help us better understand how jaw problems affect different people and their day-to-day life, and improve diagnosis and management of these conditions. For this, we also need people without jaw problems to compare data to.

The study will involve one face-to-face session at The University of Queensland. Testing will take approximately 60-90 minutes, and will include a number of physical tests to assess your jaw movement, strength and control.

In addition, you will be asked to complete a short online questionnaire about your jaw and general health, which will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.

Eligibility

We are looking for volunteers aged 18 years and older, who have either:

A healthy jaw: no signs of jaw clicking, locking or pain in the past 5 years.
Persistent jaw pain: lasting longer than 3 months, without clicking or locking.
