View clinical trials related to Bruxism.
Filter by:Bruxism is defined as a repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterized by tooth grinding or clenching accompanied with wearing of the teeth, and jaw muscle discomfort in the absence of a medical disorder . Bruxism has two distinct circadian manifestations: it can be nocturnal or diurnal. Hypertrophy of the masseter muscle is an objective sign of bruxism. Additionally, fatigue or stiffness in the masticatory muscles, pain in the temporomandibular joint or headaches are subjective signs of bruxism. According to literature, 85% to 90% of the general population experience episodes of bruxism during their lives. Thus, finding an effective treatment method for bruxism is crucial.The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of two different physiotherapy approaches on the masseter muscle thickness and stiffness in patients with Bruxism.
This cross-sectional study will evaluate the association between sociodemographic, occupational, clinical conditions, psychological (sense of coherence), sleep quality variables and SB diagnosed by PSG, the gold standard exam with audio-visual resources obtained at Pelotas Sleep Institute.
Background. Bruxism is an involuntary, non-functional activity of the masticatory system, and is frequently seen in childhood. Bruxism has many aetiologies, like malocclusion, psychological factors, allergies and gastrointestinal disorders. Aim. To investigate the relationship between Enterobius vermicularis infection and bruxism in children.
This case-control study will evaluates the association between the definitive sleep bruxism diagnosis by gold-standard polysomnography examination obtained at Pelotas Sleep Institute and the sociodemographic, occupational, clinical conditions, sleep quality, sleep structure and Epworth sleepiness scale variables.
The objective of this retrospective observational study will be to investigate the between the Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) and Sleep Bruxism (SB), in individuals diagnosed through polysomnography (PSG).
Evaluate the correlation among the diagnostics of sleep bruxism and sleep quality obtained from the use of smartphone application (APP-Sleep Cycle®), PSG and questionnaires (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-IQSP and Johansson).
This study evaluated the influence of the sleep bruxism (SB), awake bruxism (AB) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on the signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
This study was planned to evaluate the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, myofascial releasing maneuvers and home exercises on pain and jaw function in patients with bruxism aged 16-50 years .
The Platelet-Rich Plasma intramuscular injections into the masseter and temporalis muscle were performed to reduce painful temporomandibular disorder symptoms,such as myalgia, myofascial pain and myofascial pain with referrals. Patients(n=120) were randomly divided into two groups: experimental(n=60) and control group(n=60). In controls injections with 0,9% NaCl were performed. Pain intensity was measured with NPRS (numeriic pain rating scale, 0= no pain, 11= the worst pain that one can imagine) before(0 day), during(10 day) and after(20 day) the therapy with PRP injections.
There is no accurate diagnosis method for bruxism for now. Consequences of bruxism over teeth, muscles and articulation of the jaw are important. This study aims to develop a innovative tool in order to accurately rapidly diagnose bruxism in ambulatory evaluation.
