This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests two different physiotherapy treatments for awake bruxism—daytime teeth clenching or jaw tension that causes pain. One approach focuses on improving body awareness and sensory perception of the face and jaw, while the other uses jaw mobility and posture exercises. Twenty adults with jaw pain will be randomly assigned to one of the treatments or a wait-list group, and their pain levels will be tracked over four weeks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
somatosensory awareness-based training and jaw and posture exercise therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward better physiotherapy approaches for reducing jaw pain and improving quality of life in people with awake bruxism.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There is also a chance that neither treatment works better than no treatment.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 to 45 years * Clinical diagnosis of awake bruxism confirmed using standardized diagnostic criteria (STAB and DC/TMD Axis I) * Presence of at least one measurable somatosensory alteration confirmed at baseline using digital and clinical assessments * Self-reported daytime jaw clenching or parafunctional activity * Baseline orofacial pain intensity of ≥5/10 on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) * Chronic pain graded as GCPS Grades I-III according to DC/TMD Axis II (Turkish validated version) * Willingness to comply with the study protocol and attend scheduled treatment sessions * Ability to understand the study procedures and provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * GCPS Grade IV (high disability level) * Presence of systemic inflammatory, neurological, or rheumatological disorders * Diagnosis of severe chronic pain conditions unrelated to bruxism * Use of occlusal splints or participation in jaw, neck, or facial therapy within the past 3 months * Psychiatric disorders or cognitive impairment that could interfere with study participation * Pregnancy, due to potential effects on joint laxity and postural parameters
