Investigation of Respiratory Functions, Respiratory Muscle Strength, Balance and Sleep Quality in Patients With Bruxism

NCT07294833 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 34

Last updated 2025-12-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

It has been reported that patients with bruxism frequently present with upper respiratory tract symptoms such as rhinitis, sinusitis, and mouth breathing. Upper respiratory tract infections have been shown to reduce lung volumes, and individuals with bruxism commonly exhibit forward head posture, which is known to negatively affect postural balance. However, no studies have investigated respiratory function or respiratory muscle strength in patients with bruxism, and the number of studies evaluating balance in this population is limited. The aim of the present study is to assess respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength, balance, and sleep quality in individuals with bruxism and to compare these outcomes with those of healthy controls.
