Summary

This study tested two treatments for sleep bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching during sleep): botulinum toxin (Botox) injections and marjoram oil applied topically. Thirty adults aged 18–60 with sleep bruxism were split into two groups of 15 each. Researchers measured muscle thickness, pain, and sleep quality before treatment and at 1 and 3 months after. The goal was to see which approach better eases symptoms like jaw pain and poor sleep.
