Got TMD or Fibromyalgia?  Both? Neither?   If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, you may be interested in a research study that looks into the relationships between the symptoms of Temporomandibular Mandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) and Fibromyalgia.  The project will also study the impact of stress and perceived stress on these medical conditions. 

You may volunteer to participate in Dr. Leslie Crofford’s study if you are female, ages 18 to 65, diagnosed with TMD with or without Fibromyalgia or have neither of these conditions.  Please contact Mary Johnson, Clinical Research Coordinator,  at 859-323-1377 or 800 929 2320 for further information
