Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Can diaphragmatic breathing lower the frequency of teeth grinding during sleep?
Can it reduce jaw discomfort and improve sleep quality?
Participants will:
Attend sessions to learn diaphragmatic breathing exercises
Practice these exercises daily at home for 4 weeks
Complete questionnaires and clinical assessments before and after the program
Participation is safe, with minimal risks, such as mild fatigue during exercises. The study will help determine if diaphragmatic breathing is an effective way to manage sleep bruxism
