- BPC-157
- Growth factor receptor activation → fibroblast proliferation
- Tissue repair, cartilage regeneration
- Subcutaneous
- 200–500 mcg/day
- Most effective for structural TMJ damage (cartilage erosion, disc displacement). Addresses root cause of mechanical dysfunction.
- TB-500
- Actin upregulation → cytokine suppression
- Inflammation modulation, tissue pliability
- 2–5 mg 2x/week
- Best for chronic inflammation with restricted joint mobility. Reduces fibrotic tissue formation that limits range of motion.
- KPV
- Melanocortin receptor agonism → immune cell modulation
- Localized anti-inflammatory response
- Topical or subcutaneous
- 0.5–1 mg/day
- Ideal for acute flare-ups with synovial inflammation. Topical application offers precision without systemic exposure.
- Cerebrolysin
- Neurotrophic factor mimicry → nerve repair
- Neuroprotection, nerve regeneration
- Intramuscular
- 5–10 mL 2–3x/week
- Useful for TMJ with nerve involvement (trigeminal neuralgia, referred pain). Addresses neuropathic component standard peptides don't.
- Thymalin
- Thymic peptide immune regulation
- Immune system balance, systemic inflammation
- 5–10 mg 2–3x/week
- Supports overall immune function in chronic TMJ cases with systemic inflammatory markers. Not TMJ-specific but mechanistically relevant.
