Type: dissertation
Abstract: Oral behaviours, such as wake-time tooth clenching and awake bruxism, are strongly associated with mood disorders, and are risk factors for temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Guided Music Listening (GML), a complimentary therapy based on mood mediation, reduces anxiety and depression in patients with chronic pain. This study tested the effects of GML on wake-time tooth clenching in individuals with chronic TMD myalgia (mTMD). The electromyographic (EMG) activity of the right masseter of fourteen women with mTMD and fifteen TMD-free controls was recorded during three music (stressful, relaxing, and favorite) and a control (pink noise) tasks. GML affected the EMG amplitude of the masseter in both groups (all p
