[EEG changes in symptomatic headache caused by bruxism].

G Wieselmann, W Grabmair, C Logar

    Wiener Klinische Wochenschrift
    |February 20, 1987

    Summary

    Occlusal splints significantly improved EEG abnormalities in bruxism and unilateral headache patients. Pathological EEG patterns decreased from 56% to 22% after treatment, indicating effective long-term management.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Dental Sleep Medicine

    Context:

    • Bruxism and unilateral headache often present with overlapping symptoms.
    • Electroencephalography (EEG) is used to assess neurological activity.
    • Occlusal splints are a common treatment for bruxism.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of occlusal splints in managing patients with bruxism and unilateral headache.
    • To assess changes in EEG patterns following occlusal splint therapy.

    Summary:

    • EEG recordings were performed on 36 patients diagnosed with bruxism and unilateral headache.
    • Initial EEGs revealed pathological changes in 56% of patients.
    • After two and six weeks of occlusal splint treatment and clinical improvement, repeat EEGs showed a statistically significant decrease in pathological patterns to 22%.

    Impact:

    • Occlusal splint therapy demonstrates a significant positive impact on neurological indicators in patients with bruxism and unilateral headache.
    • This suggests a potential link between bruxism management and improved EEG findings.
    • Findings support the use of occlusal splints as an effective intervention for this patient group.
