简要总结
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of occlusal splint therapy and different massage techniques on pain intensity and orofacial muscle tone and stiffness in individuals with possible sleep bruxism. A secondary aim is to evaluate the effects of these interventions on oral parafunctional behaviors, disability, and sleep quality.
详细描述
Individuals meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to three groups using block randomization: classic massage group (CM), connective tissue massage group (CTM), and occlusal splint group (OCG). Following their assessments, individuals will be assigned to their respective groups. The CM and CTM groups will receive different massage techniques twice a week from a physiotherapist for four weeks, while the OCG group will be instructed to use a custom-made occlusal splint provided by a dentist for four weeks. Assessments will be repeated for all individuals at the 4th and 8th weeks.
