March 14, 2022 updated by: Noéli Boscato, PhD, Federal University of Pelotas

Observational Study on Aspects Associated With Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Bruxism and Orofacial Pain

This study evaluated the influence of the sleep bruxism (SB), awake bruxism (AB) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on the signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by partial or total obstruction of the upper airways. Bruxism is defined as a repetitive activity of the mandibular musculature characterized by the tightening or grinding of the teeth and/or by the retrusion or propulsion of the mandible, and according to their manifestation circadian is defined as sleep bruxism (SB) or wake bruxism (AB). This prospective clinical study will be performed with adults (20 to 60 years) and elderly (> 60 years) (WHO-World Health Organization) who will be undergone polysomnography (PSG) at a private medical outpatients clinic from January to December 2019 to evaluate the influence of SB, AB, and OSA on signs and symptoms of TMD. The individuals will be assessed clinically and diagnosed for TMD using the "Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders", for SB and OSA using PSG, and AB using the smartphone application. Specific statistical tests will be determined after preliminary analysis of the data (α= 0.05).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years to 80 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

All adults (aged 20 to 60 years) and elderly (aged > 60 years) who had undergone PSG at the Pelotas Sleep Institute (ISP), a private medical outpatients clinic, from January to December 2019, will be invited to participate in the study. Written consent was given by all participants who agreed to participate in the study.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adults (aged 20 to 60 years) and elderly (aged > 60 years) (WHO-World Health Organization, 2015) who will be undergone PSG at the Pelotas Sleep Institute (ISP);
  • Adequate cognitive capacity to understand and answer the questionnaire.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Those which the participants were unable to answer the questionnaires and who presented a history of epilepsy that could interfere in the results of PSG.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

with sleep bruxism, apnea and DTM

Patients who will undergo analysis of:

Evaluation of TMD and pain sensitivity Evaluation of SB Evaluation of AB
Diagnostic test: Evaluation of TMD and pain sensitivity
Extra and intraoral clinical examination will be performed and the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC / TMD) questionnaire will be applied. Measurements shall be bilateral in the masseter, anterior temporal and tenar muscles and the arithmetic mean between three measurements will be considered the value for each side for pain sensitivity analysis with an dynamometer.
Diagnostic test: Evaluation of SB
The presence or absence of SB will be diagnosed by Polysomnography
Diagnostic test: Evaluation of AB
A smartphone will be used, which was developed for a momentary evaluation that allows a report of the exact moment of AB and its possible associated symptoms.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Polisomnography analysis
Time Frame: 4 months after study start
Patients included in the study will receive polisomnography exams for diagnosis of SB and OSAS. The data will be obtained from polisomnography records
4 months after study start

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
TMD assessment
Time Frame: 6 months after study start
All patients who had undergone polisomnography will answer the DC / TMD questionaire and clinical exams.
6 months after study start
Diagnosis of awake bruxism
Time Frame: 8 months after study start
All patients will use a Smartphone application after undergone polisomnography
8 months after study start
TMD pain
Time Frame: 10 months after study start
All patients who had undergone polisomnography will answer the DC / TMD questionaire and clinical exams with algometer.
