No study on the effect of dual-cure stabilizer splint without canine ramp in migraine patients is present.
This study was conducted to determine the effects of maxillary flat dual-cure stabilizer occlusal splint on severity, frequency and episodes of headaches in individuals suffering from a migraine.
In this interventional clinical trial, 30 eligible patients were divided into 2 groups (case and control); each group consisted of 8 men and 7 women. Dual-cure stabilizer splint was made for patients in the case group and they used the adjusted splint 20 hours a day for 6 weeks. The severity, frequency and episodes of migraine attacks before and after using the splint were determined. For grading pain, severity visual analogue scale was used. The data were analyzed using 20 and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and paired t-test.
The severity, frequency, and episodes of migraine attacks before and after using the splint were reduced by 56%, 68%, and 72%, respectively. The reduction was statistically significant ( < 0.05).
Despite the effect of occlusal devices on the migraine disorder is controversial, the most researchers agree that using these appliances can be effective in reducing headache in migraine patients.
Given the favorable effects of dual-cure stabilizer splint on reducing the severity, frequency and episodes of migraine headaches, the device can be used as an effective alternative therapy besides common pain-relieving methods.
目前尚无关于无尖牙斜度的双固化稳定器夹板对偏头痛患者影响的研究。
本研究旨在确定上颌平面双固化稳定器咬合夹板对偏头痛患者头痛严重程度、发作频率和发作次数的影响。
在这项干预性临床试验中，30名符合条件的患者被分为2组（病例组和对照组）；每组由8名男性和7名女性组成。为病例组患者制作双固化稳定器夹板，他们每天佩戴调整后的夹板20小时，共6周。测定使用夹板前后偏头痛发作的严重程度、频率和发作次数。采用视觉模拟评分法对疼痛进行分级。数据采用卡方检验和Kolmogorov-Smirnov检验以及配对t检验进行分析。
使用夹板前后偏头痛发作的严重程度、频率和发作次数分别降低了56%、68%和72%。这种降低具有统计学意义（P<0.05）。
尽管咬合装置对偏头痛疾病的影响存在争议，但大多数研究人员一致认为，使用这些器具可有效减轻偏头痛患者的头痛。
鉴于双固化稳定器夹板在减轻偏头痛头痛的严重程度、频率和发作次数方面具有良好效果，该装置可作为除常用止痛方法外的一种有效替代疗法。
