This report describes the use of EMG biofeedback to reduce bruxism in an 18-year-old woman. The behaviour was severe and not responsive to standard dental treatment. In addition to psychometric measures of affective status, objective measures of both the frequency and intensity of bruxing incidents were made, and a 4-week intervention conducted. On the bruxing and affective measures significant improvements were noted, as were reductions in associated pain and dysfunction.
本报告描述了使用肌电图生物反馈疗法来减轻一名18岁女性磨牙症的情况。该症状严重,对标准牙科治疗无反应。除了对情感状态进行心理测量外,还对磨牙事件的频率和强度进行了客观测量,并进行了为期4周的干预。在磨牙和情感测量方面都有显著改善,相关疼痛和功能障碍也有所减轻。
