View clinical trials related to 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 was o determine the relationship between self-reported bruxism (SB) and some psychological factors (i.e: Anxiety State-Trait; Stress Reactivity Index, Beck Depression Inventory). A consecutive sample of 101 patients that reported at least 2 of the 6 items of Bruxism self-reported index, were explored clinically for quantifying the number and severity of worn teeth, and also the severe and location of the muscular pain according to an standardized inventory.
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.
to measure strength of the deep anterior neck muscles with a new measurement protocol and by using the NOD device, a dynamometer, in subjects with and without bruxism, and compared to EMG on the superficial muscles of the anterior neck and the masseter muscle.
Objective: check the effectiveness of visceral manual therapy on bruxist patients with gastroesophageal reflux. Design: Experimental, analytical, longitudinal, prospective, randomized, single-blind study with a blinded evaluator. Subjects: 68 subjects over 18 years old, with bruxism (diagnoses by a dentist) and gastroesophageal reflux (evidenced by the GERDQ test). Methods: Subjects will be randomized into 2 groups: an experimental group (EG) to which a visceral manual technique will be applied and a control group (CG) to which a placebo manual technique will be administered. Both groups will receive 2 interventions one week apart. The measurements will be made before and after the interventions, and a last measurement will be made one month after the last intervention. Therefore, the patient will visit the center 3 times.
Investigating the effect of botulinum neurotoxin on the jaw-neck envelope of motion.
This is a randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial. The main objective is to evaluate the immediate effect of the mandibular muscle-energy technique on pain, functionality and kinesiophobia in subjects suffering from temporomandibular dysfunction and bruxism. In the experimental group the jaw muscle-energy technique will be applied and in the control group a placebo technique will be applied. The intention is to see the immediate effects of the intervention and two evaluations of the pre- and post-intervention outcome variables and a follow-up of kinesiophobia one week later will be performed.
The aim of the project is to assess the effectiveness of reducing the masseter muscles tension and hyperactivity in patients with a painful form of TMD by using polymers containing CBD compared to placebo polymers.
