Summary

This study tested whether a 4-week program of diaphragmatic breathing exercises before bed can reduce sleep bruxism (teeth grinding) in 100 adults. Participants learned deep breathing techniques and practiced them nightly, while a control group listened to neutral music. The goal was to see if the breathing exercises could lower grinding frequency, ease jaw discomfort, and improve sleep quality.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Diaphragmatic breathing exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to manage sleep bruxism and reduce jaw pain.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with 100 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and the effect might be modest or no better than listening to music.
