Eficacia del tratamiento fisioterápico combinado con férula de descarga respecto al uso único de férula para el tratamiento del bruxismo
Abstract
Objetivo: El bruxismo es una actividad parafuncional caracterizada por apretar o rechinar los
dientes de forma inconsciente, ya sea de forma diurna o nocturna.
La finalidad del estudio es conocer la efectividad de técnicas neuromusculares y de puntos
gatillo combinadas con el uso de férula de descarga frente al tratamiento habitual de férula
de descarga en pacientes bruxistas.
Material y métodos: Se elabora un estudio analítico, experimental, longitudinal, prospectivo
y enmascarado a simple ciego. La muestra está compuesta por 44 sujetos con edades entre
30 y 40 años que acudan a la consulta de maxilofacial del Hospital La Paz de Madrid y son
diagnosticados de bruxismo. Los sujetos serán divididos en dos grupos de forma aleatoria: el
grupo control, al cual se le aplicará el tratamiento habitual, y el grupo experimental al que se
le incluye técnicas neuromusculares y de puntos gatillo en la principal musculatura
masticatoria.
Se efectuarán dos mediciones: pre y post tratamiento. Se evaluará la actividad muscular del
masetero y temporal, el umbral de dolor a la presión y la apertura bucal de los pacientes.
Objectives: Bruxism is a parafunctional activity characterized by unconscious clenching or grinding of the teeth, either day or night. This study aims at evaluating the effectiveness of neuromuscular and trigger point techniques combined with the use of occlusal splint versus the traditional treatment based just on the occlusal splint in patients with bruxism. Material and methods: It is an analytical, experimental, longitudinal, prospective and masked single-blind study. The sample is composed of 44 subjects aged between 30 and 40 years old who come to the maxillofacial surgery of the Hospital La Paz consultation, and they are diagnosed with bruxism. The subjects will be divided into two groups randomly: the control group, to which the usual treatment will be applied, and the experimental group which includes neuromuscular and trigger points techniques in the main masticatory muscles. Two measurements are made: pre and post treatment. It is evaluated the muscle activity of the masseter and temporal, the threshold of pressure pain and the mouth opening of the patients.
