Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled study is to compare laser acupuncture versus modified physical therapy in controlling bruxism in children. The main questions aim to answer are: - Laser will decrease tempro-mandibular joint pain from bruxism more than modified physical therapy? - Laser will decrease muscles activity from bruxism more than modified physical therapy? Children took 6 sessions of either laser acupuncture or modified physical therapy Researchers compared laser acupuncture versus modified physical therapy to see if any decrease in tempro-mandibular joint pain and muscles activity from bruxism


Clinical Trial Description

The children participated in the study as bruxers according to the American Association of Sleep Medicine (AASM) diagnostic criteria [ Sixteen children will be randomly allocated to two groups of 8 individuals each: Group one: laser acupuncture, Group two: electromyography biofeedback training. Pain will be measured by Visual Analogue scale; VAS (primary outcome)and muscle activity will be measured by Electromyography (Secondary outcome) of temporalis and masseter muscles. Measurements will be taken preoperatively and after 8 weeks. ;
