Summary

This study explores whether bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching) is related to pelvic floor dysfunction in young women aged 18-30. Researchers will use questionnaires and physical exams to assess jaw function, pelvic floor symptoms, and anxiety in 100 participants. The goal is to see if these seemingly separate issues are connected, which could inform future care.

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 a link is found, it could lead to better screening or treatment approaches for both conditions in young women.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study that only looks for a connection. It cannot prove that one condition causes the other, and results may not apply to everyone.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Female individuals aged 18-30 years * Voluntary agreement to participate in the study and approval of the online informed consent form For the bruxism group: * Self-reported teeth clenching and/or grinding behavior during wakefulness or sleep within the past 6 months * Presence of clinical findings supporting bruxism (e.g., tooth wear patterns, masseter/temporalis muscle tenderness) identified during a clinical examination conducted at the Faculty of Dentistry For the non-bruxism group: * No self-reported teeth clenching or grinding behavior * Absence of clinical findings supporting bruxism upon examination Bruxism classification will be performed in accordance with the current international consensus, based on self-report combined with clinical findings, within the framework of "probable bruxism" (Verhoeff et al., 2025). Exclusion Criteria: * Diagnosed temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction or significant jaw pain syndromes * History of major pelvic surgery; early postpartum period (\<1 year) or current pregnancy * Neurological disorders (e.g., multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathies) * Presence of active urogenital or colorectal infection/disease * Diagnosed pelvic floor pathologies (e.g., advanced pelvic organ prolapse, severe urinary/fecal incontinence) * Chronic use of opioids, anticholinergic agents, or muscle relaxants * Severe psychiatric disorders (e.g., diagnosed major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder) * Receipt of any bruxism-related treatment within the past 6 months (e.g., occlusal splint therapy, botulinum toxin injections, intensive physiotherapy)
