Effects of Photobiomodulation in Children With Down Syndrome and Possible Sleep Bruxism

Sleep Bruxism Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effects of Photobiomodulation in Children With Down Syndrome and Possible Sleep Bruxism: Protocol For A Randomized, Controlled, Blind, Clinical Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Hypotonia, particularly of the masticatory and oropharyngeal muscles, is one of the main characteristics of Down syndrome, resulting in impaired speech, chewing and swallowing. Moreover, the complete or partial obstruction of the airways during sleep may occur due to hypotonia of the tongue, leading to snoring and sleep disorders, such as obstructive apnea and sleep bruxism. Objectives: Analyze salivary levels of dopamine and cortisol and muscle activity before and after treatment with low-level laser therapy administered to acupoints in children with Down syndrome. Methods: A randomized, controlled, clinical trial will be conducted. Individuals four to 17 years of age with a diagnosis of Down syndrome and possible sleep bruxism will be screened at the Integrated Health Clinic of Nove de Julho University. We will evaluate orofacial dysfunction (NOT-S questionnaire), facial sensitivity, activity of the masticatory and trapezius muscles (electromyography), head posture as well as salivary cortisol and dopamine. After the evaluations, the participants will be randomized into two groups: Grupo 1 - treatment with low-level laser therapy at a wavelength of 808 nm; Group 2 - sham treatment (simulated laser therapy). Treatment will be conducted twice per week for a total of 12 sessions. The data will be tabulated and treated using GraphPad Prism version 7.0. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test will be used to determine the normality of the data. Variables that fit the Gaussian curve will be expressed as mean and standard deviation. The t-test will be used for comparisons between the groups, with the significance level set to 5% (p <0.05).
