Brief Summary
Evaluate erenumab- aooe efficacy as a therapeutic approach, for the management of painful chronic temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The study will be a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing erenumab-aooe vs Placebo. A total of 60 patients (30 per each arm) aged 18-65 years old of either sex, and any race or ethnicity presenting chronic temporomandibular disorders (TMD), (meeting the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) for Clinical and Research Applications of chronic TMD (myalgia +/- arthralgia) will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 parallel, double-blind clinical trial, to receive either erenumab-aooe or placebo. Participants will attend 6 clinic visits (Visit 0-Visit 5) over a period of 21 weeks (20 +/- 1 weeks). Changes in pain intensity and other pain outcomes related to TMD will be assessed. Blood samples will be collected, and participants will need to keep a daily symptom diary and answer some other questionnaires.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change of >= 30% Reduction in the Monthly Average Pain Score From Baseline to Visit 4, Compared to Placebo.
Assessment of the efficacy of erenumab-aooe in the proportion of participants that achieve \>=30% reduction (Yes/no) in monthly average pain score from baseline to Visit 4 (the end of last monthly treatment cycle), compared to placebo. The daily pain intensity score will be measured on a 0-100 numeric rating scale (NRS) and reported in the Daily Symptom Diary (DSD). The monthly mean pain intensity score will be determined from baseline, Visit 1/Day 28/Week 4, Visit 2/Day 56/Week 8, Visit 3/Day 84/week 12 and Visit 4/Day 112/Week 16.
From Visit 0 (Baseline phase/study day 0) to Visit 4 (study day 112)
Secondary Outcomes (15)

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- In order to be eligible to participate in this study, an individual must meet all of the following criteria:
- Provide signed and dated informed consent form
- Is between 18 and 65 years of age (inclusive; male or female and any race or ethnicity)
- Meets diagnostic criteria for TMD: Myalgia with or without arthralgia
- The participant must meet 2 criteria relating: 1) reported pain, ache or tenderness in the face, jaw/mandible, pre-auricular area, inside the ear or temple that it is modified by TMJ biomechanics. 2) finding(s) of TMD myalgia according to the classification DC/TMD criteria.
- Has experienced facial pain and/or pain with TMJ biomechanics for the last 3 months episodically or unremitting
- Has experienced facial pain for at least 10 days of the last 30 days prior to Baseline Visit (Visit 0)
- Prior to randomization, has been compliant 80% with the entries in the Daily Symptom Diary within the baseline period and reported an average pain level ≥30 on a numerical rating scale (0-100) in the DSD, or has experienced a pain level ≥30 on the same scale for at least 3 days in the week prior to Visit 1.
- If taking a prescription medication daily for the management of pain (taken for at least 30 days before baseline), agrees to continue the daily use of the medication throughout the study at the same dosage.
- If taking prescription medication, opioid medication or OTC medications as needed or episodically for the management of TMD pain agrees to discontinue its use prior to the Screening and Baseline Visit.
- Rescue medications will be defined as allowable over-the-counter analgesics used for treatment of TMD pain. In case a patient presents pain during the study, only it is allowed the use of OTC medications as a "rescue" and as described on section 6.6.3: Participants use of short-acting non-prescription analgesics such as NSAIDs, acetaminophen or aspirin during the study, will be recorded and quantified at each visit, and the usage will be classified as either episodic or daily. Episodic use of non-prescription analgesics will be defined as use for no more than 2 consecutive days and for no more than 18 days from baseline to visit 4.
- This type of analgesics should not be used for more than 2 days a week prior to Baseline and a week prior to visit 4, when the exploratory outcome is assessed (cytokine release assay).
- If taking OTC pain medications daily agrees to continue its daily use at the same dosage throughout the study.
- If a participant is taking an over-the-counter medication daily for management of other type of pain or for prophylaxis of myocardial infarction or stroke, the participant will be encouraged to continue the same usage of that medication throughout the study.
- Agrees to not start any new prescription medication for the management of pain throughout the study
- +6 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Participants with a history of congestive heart failure, rheumatoid arthritis or uncontrolled diabetes.

- Participants with high blood pressure, history of abnormal electrocardiograms, history of heart conductance defects, malignant disease, chronic constipation, IBSc or any other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory finding that may increase the risk associated with trial participation with Erenumab
