NCT ID NCT07665398
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether inhaling or massaging with lavender, marjoram, and vetiver oils can help people with bruxism (teeth grinding). Sixty-four adults aged 18-25 will use the oils twice daily for a period. Researchers will measure changes in jaw muscle elasticity and thickness, and track symptoms like pain and headache. The goal is to see if aromatherapy can be a simple, drug-free way to manage bruxism.
