NCT ID NCT07453121
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study used smartwatches to compare sleep stages and total sleep time between 62 adults with sleep bruxism (teeth grinding) and healthy controls. Participants wore a smartwatch for 7 nights to collect sleep data. The goal was to see if smartwatches can help monitor sleep bruxism more easily over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to easier, long-term monitoring of sleep bruxism using smartwatches, helping doctors assess treatment effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 62 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Smartwatch sleep data is less precise than lab-based sleep tests.
