MiTiGate trial: Is Botox more effective than lidocaine and treatment as usual in myalgia temporomandibular disorder (TMD)?

The MiTiGate trial looks at treatments for ongoing jaw muscle pain (M-TMD). Researchers are comparing standard daily pain tablets (amitriptyline or gabapentin) with injections of either Botox or a numbing medicine called lidocaine. The aim is to find out which option provides the safest, most effective, and best-value relief.
