What this trial studies

This pilot study aims to evaluate the acute side effects and potential pain relief resulting from radiotherapy applied to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in patients with arthritis. Participants will complete a symptom-oriented questionnaire and use a numeric rating scale to assess their pain levels. The feasibility of the irradiation procedure will also be examined as part of the study's methodology.
