Summary

This study tested two treatments for sleep bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching during sleep) in 30 adults aged 18-60. One group received botulinum toxin (Botox) injections into the jaw muscle, while the other group used marjoram oil as an alternative therapy. Researchers measured changes in symptoms like jaw pain, sleep quality, and muscle stiffness over three months using questionnaires and ultrasound imaging. The goal was to see which approach better eases discomfort and improves sleep.
