Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
a. the measure (qualitative/quantitative) of brain activity during teeth clenching b. the measure of brain activity during tmd pain Endpoints will be if there is no brain activity at all or the measurements are too weak so that a follow up study will not be indicated anymore; if the measurements of brain activity are strong enough in case of teeth clenching but not in the case of tmd pain, the follow up study will be executed in a modified form.
