| Experimental study. The main study parameters for experimental study are five characteristics of SB activity. 1. Bruxism intensity (PSG). This defined as the strength of clenching the teeth. Bruxism intensity is calculated based on the root mean-square of the EMG signal from the masticatory muscles. Bruxism intensity will be measured by analyzing polysomnographic recordings using RemLogic (Embla, Ontario, Canada) and Bruxism Detector (ACTA custom made) software. 2. Bruxism duration (PSG). How long the patient clenches or grinds his teeth will be calculated as a sum of all SB episodes duration by analyzing polysomnographic recordings using RemLogic and Bruxism Detector software. 3. Amount of episodes per hour of sleep (PSG). This will be computed by analyzing polysomnographic recordings using RemLogic and Bruxism Detector software. 4. Rest time between episodes. We will analyze the distribution of SB episodes throughout the night using RemLogic and Bruxism Detector software. Cross-sectional study Muscle pain (Myalgia). This diagnosis will be based on the Extensive Clinical Examination Protocol of ACTA*s OPD Clinic. Criteria to evaluate the diagnosis of myalgia is in Inclusion criteria and based on Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) for Clinical and Research Applications.. Longitudinal study (pilot) Muscle pain and psychological stress. Presence of Muscle pain will be assessed by the questionnaire with visual analog scales (VAS) and using the Extensive Clinical Examination Protocol of ACTA*s OPD Clinic. Psychological stress experience will be recorded using the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9). | — |
