This study tests whether adding a gentle electrical current (diadynamic current) to a 6-week jaw exercise program can reduce pain and improve jaw function in adults with bruxism (teeth grinding/clenching). 24 people with jaw pain will be randomly assigned to either exercises alon…

This study uses an online survey to investigate how common orofacial pain, sleep problems, and oral health issues are among adult musicians in German amateur orchestras. Participants fill out a single 10-minute questionnaire about pain, sleep bruxism, stress, and oral health qual…

This study will track jaw muscle activity in 42 adults with chronic jaw pain and teeth grinding (bruxism) who use a custom mouth splint at night. Participants will wear a portable device for 24 hours to measure muscle activity before starting the splint, two weeks later, and afte…

This study looks at 100 dental students to see if teeth grinding (bruxism), anxiety, and gum health are linked. Participants fill out anxiety questionnaires and get a gum exam. No treatment is given—just observation. The goal is to understand how stress might affect oral health i…
