Investigation of the Effect of Cervical Stabilization Exercises on Bruxism and Sleep Quality
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cervical spinal stabilization exercise for Bruxism and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 28 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Bruxism and temporomandibular joint dysfunction are common conditions today. The applications in the treatment of these disorders are limited. When the literature is examined, it has been determined that cervical stabilization exercises, which are frequently applied in physical therapy clinics for neck problems, have not been applied to bruxism before. For this reason, in this study, we will examine the effects of cervical stabilization exercises targeting deep cervical muscles on bruxism.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The cervical region is one of the most affected regions of the musculoskeletal system due to the intensive proprioceptors. Studies have shown that many position sense proprioceptors are over the deep group cervical muscles such as longus colitis and longus capitis. The deep group cervical muscles, which perform a dynamic ligament function, have an important role in maintaining the stability of the spine as well as the proprioceptive sense. In particular, proprioceptive receptors, which are commonly found in the deep suboccipital muscles; There are cervical and reflex connections with vestibular, visual and postural control systems.
