What this trial studies

This randomized, interventional Phase 4 trial will enroll 60 patients older than 15 with orofacial and temporomandibular pain and no chronic systemic illness. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either chlorzoxazone (Relaxon) or orphenadrine citrate (Norgesic) twice daily for two weeks. Pain will be measured using a visual analogue scale at baseline, day 7, and day 14, and temporomandibular joint function will be evaluated at baseline and day 14. Results will be analyzed using nonparametric statistics in SPSS v29 to compare short-term pain and TMJ parameter changes between groups.
