View clinical trials related to Sleep Bruxism.
Filter by:The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of clear aligners on the symptoms and signs reported by bruxism patients. The aim of the investigators is to evaluate the effect of treatment on the masticatory muscles and the changes related to the tropism of the masseter muscles using Bruxoff ® device, before and after the beginning of the therapy. Bruxoff ® is a holter that assesses the contractions of the masseter muscles and the heart during sleep. The plan is to compare treatment with clear aligners for bruxism and non-bruxism patients. The results will allow the investigators to evaluate the progress of clear aligner therapy in bruxism patients and compare them with those of non-bruxism patients.
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of bruxism on mandibular movement capacity, cervical proprioception, posture and quality of life in adolescents diagnosed with nocturnal bruxism (clenching and grinding teeth while sleeping) between the ages of 13-18 and to compare them with healthy adolescents. Method: A total of 40 adolescents, 20 with nocturnal bruxism and 20 healthy, will be included in the study. Mandibular movement capacity will be evaluated with a caliper and ruler, cervical proprioception with a CROM device, posture with the New York Posture Scale, and quality of life with the PedsQL 13-18 age scale. Hypotheses: H1: Nocturnal bruxism reduces the movement capacity of the mandible in adolescents. H2: Nocturnal bruxism reduces cervical proprioception in adolescents. H3: Posture disorder increases in adolescents with nocturnal bruxism. H4: Nocturnal bruxism affects the level of daily life quality in adolescents.
Objective: To investigate, through a controlled and randomized clinical trial, the effectiveness of using Melissa officinalis in different concentrations in the treatment of children and adolescents with probable sleep bruxism. Methodology: This is a randomized, triple-blind, crossover, and placebo-controlled clinical trial. The research participants will be children aged 5 to 10 years old and adolescents aged 11 to 16 years old who attend dental treatment at the FO/UFRJ Pediatric Dentistry Clinics. After approval by the Human Research Ethics Committee, children and adolescents will undergo homeopathic treatment with Melissa officinalis in different concentrations for possible sleep bruxism. In addition, research participants will undergo an assessment of TMJ, sleep, circadian cycle, quality of life, and quality of life related to oral health. The data will be tabulated and analyzed according to sex, age group, presence of possible sleep bruxism, presence or absence of TMD, circadian characteristics, presence or absence of sleep disorders, daytime and nighttime behavioral characteristics. The data will be tabulated and evaluated using SPSS 21.0. Absolute and relative frequency, odds ratio, correlation analysis and other relevant analyzes and statistical tests (p<0.05) will be carried out in accordance with the objectives proposed by the study
The overall objective of the clinical investigation is to evaluate whether the use of the AesyBite Active reduces the bruxism activity.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of sleep hygiene measures for the possible improvement of sleep bruxism in children through a randomized controlled clinical study of children under 8 years of age with probable sleep bruxism. In randomization both groups will receive information about bruxism, and the test group will receive instructions of sleep hygiene, limited use of screens and a relaxation audio. The occurrence of sleep bruxism will be assessed through a diary to be completed by the child's responsible party. A randomized, stratified sample of approximately 16 children will be included in the study. One group will be composed of 8 children with probable sleep bruxism who will receive the sleep hygiene intervention, and another group of children who will only receive instructions on sleep bruxism, with causes and consequences. Participants will be followed-up for 30 days. Parents will respond to a questionnaire about socioeconomic, demographic (child's age and gender), as well as parafunctional habits such as nail biting, biting objects, pacifier sucking, finger / thumb sucking and bottle feeding, child's sleep characteristics, screen habits, parental smoking, problems breathing, parental profession and also on psychological issues. Sleep habits will also be answered in this questionnaire, and parents will also answer the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. The children over 6 years old will respond a Child Stress Scale and the Child of stressing sources in child; children less than 6 years will have the questionnaire responded by parents. The children will undergo a clinical examination to assess dental wear, according to the BEWE (Basic Erosive Wear Examination Index). The study evaluations consist of baseline, 1, 7, 15 and 30 days.
A Clinical Trial Study to investigate the potential performance of BTXA on masseter muscle on patient with nocturnal bruxism and to check the pain scale and share this clinical experience.
Sleep bruxism is a masticatory muscle activity characterized as rhythmic (phasic) or non‐rhythmic (tonic). The literature reports the prevalence rates, diverse etiologies and different types of treatment. In children and adolescents, etiological factors, such as breathing pattern and sleep quality, have recently been addressed in studies investigating sleep bruxism. While studies have also reported psychological factors as a causal factor, this aspect requires further research. There are also divergences in opinion regarding the form of treatment. New therapies for adults, such as botulinum toxin, have been investigated, but such techniques are not applicable for individuals in the growth and development phase. Thus, photobiomodulation therapy has piqued the interest of researchers, as this noninvasive method has demonstrated positive results in problems related to muscle tissues. This document describes the protocol for a proposed study to evaluate morphological and psychosocial aspects in children and adolescents with awake bruxism and their responses to photobiomodulation therapy with infrared LED.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Botulinum toxin type A(Meditoxin®) on bruxism using polysomnography and determine which site is most appropriate for injection to obtain maximal effects.
