This study compared the effectiveness of Kinesio tape and occlusal splint application in improving sleep quality and reducing myofascial pain in children with sleep bruxism.
Full description
Forty-seven pediatric patients with sleep bruxism symptoms were randomly assigned into 3 groups for treatment: Kinesio tape group (KT), Occlusal splint group (OS), and Exercise group (EG). The following assessments were made in all 3 groups, before the treatment and at the end of the 1st and 5th week: Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale (WBFPS), measurement of maximum mouth opening, assessment of pressure pain threshold of the bilateral masseter and temporal muscles, and evaluation of temporal and masseter muscle thickness by ultrasonography.
