Brief Summary

This study was planned to evaluate the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, myofascial releasing maneuvers and home exercises on pain and jaw function in patients with bruxism aged 16-50 years .

Conditions

Exercise; Bruxism; Myofascial

Keywords

Bruxism; Pain; Exercises; Myofascial; Releasing

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change from pain (Visual Analog (VAS) Scale ) of patients with bruxism at 6 weeks.

  The severity of pain was evaluated using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (intolerable pain).The VAS scale is recommended for evaluation because of highly reliability.

  6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Change from restriction of jaw movement (The Jaw Functional Limitation Scale ) of patients with bruxism at 6 weeks.

  6 weeks

Other Outcomes (1)

• Change from bad oral habits(The Oral Behaviour Checklist) of patients with bruxism at 6 weeks.

  6 weeks

PNF, Myofascial Releasing Maneuvers, Home Exercise Group

EXPERIMENTAL

This group of patients received patients with bruxism. It was applied proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), myofascial releasing maneuvers and home exercises.

Behavioral: PNF, Myofascial Releasing Maneuvers, Home Exercise Group

Myofascial Releasing Maneuvers and Home Exercises Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group of patients received patient with bruxism. It was applied myofascial releasing maneuvers and home exercises.

Behavioral: Myofascial Releasing Maneuvers and Home Exercises Group

Control Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group of patients received patient with bruxism. It was applied conventional treatment and no myofascial releasing or Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation exercises were applied.

Behavioral: Control Group

Interventions

PNF, Myofascial Releasing Maneuvers, Home Exercise Group BEHAVIORAL

For Group 1 (n:20), the PNF, myofascial releasing and home exercises were used to decrease pain, jaw restriction and improve functional mobility on the masseter, lateral and medial pterygoid, buccinator, temporalis, orbicularis oris, orbicularis oculi, upper side of trapezius muscle, splenius, scalenous, and cervical extensor muscle in 20 patients with bruxism, for 2 and 6 weeks after pre-evaluation. PNF, myofascial releasing and home exercises were administered for 2 weeks, followed by 3 sets of 10 repeat home exercises and 6 weeks under physiotherapist control.

PNF, Myofascial Releasing Maneuvers, Home Exercise Group

Myofascial Releasing Maneuvers and Home Exercises Group BEHAVIORAL

In Group 2 (n:15), as myofascial releasing and home exercise group,final evaluation was made with 10 sets of myofascial releasing and home exercises for 2 and 6 weeks.

Myofascial Releasing Maneuvers and Home Exercises Group

Control Group BEHAVIORAL

In Group 3 (n:17), as the control group, no myofascial releasing or Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation exercises were applied.
