TITLE: Bruxism: an osteopathic approach RESEARCH TITLE: Research as to the effect of osteopathic treatment in patients with bruxism and facial pain: a double blind, randomized controlled study
BACKGROUND: To our knowledge there are no available studies that investigated the role of osteopathic treatment in patients with bruxism and facial pain. A few studies investigated the role of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in temporomandibular disorders (TMD). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of osteopathic treatment on patients with bruxism and facial pain. METHOD: Subjects with bruxism were randomised into an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG). The IG received three general osteopathic treatments (GOT). The CG did not receive any osteopathic or other medical intervention between the two measurements. Pain intensity, appearance of bruxism and symptoms were measured by the VAS and the oral behavior checklist (OBC). Subjects fulfilled a pain drawing to report pain in distinct body regions. Subjects of the IG fulfilled the VAS pain intensity, VAS appearance of bruxism, the OBC and the pain drawing at intake and one month after the third treatment. Interval between contacts was one week. Subject of the CG fulfilled the VAS pain intensity, VAS appearance of bruxism, the OBC and the pain drawing at intake and one month after intake. RESULTS: The research population (n=20), age between 31 and 63 years, was randomly assigned equally into an IG and CG. The IG, 40,2±10,6 years of age, BMI 24,2±3,69 kg/m². The CG, 40,7±11,5 years of age, BMI 24,0±3,75 kg/m². Both showed no difference for gender (?²=0.00, p=1.00), age (t=-.101, p=.921) and BMI (t=.133, p=.895). Wilcoxon signed rank test showed a significant decrease of pain intensity in the IG (p=.005), appearance of bruxism (p=.008) and grinding during sleep (p=.026), grinding while awake (p=.023), clenching while awake (p=.014) and biting on tongue/cheek/lips (p=.020). Comparing IG and CG after the interventions, significant difference has been shown by Mann Whitney U test, pain intensity p= - presented at
