First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
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 quality of life. The goal is to see if wind instrument players report more orofacial pain than other musicians, and to gather data for future dental care recommendations.
