“…In two studies, biofeedback induced a decrease in the duration but not the frequency of bruxing episodes [104,105]: this suggests little evidence of learning. However, in other studies a reduction in both duration and num ber of bruxing episodes was observed [94,106], Further research is needed to clarify this point. A problem with biofeedback treatment is that in the majority of studies bruxing activ ity returns to pretreatment levels soon after discontinuing the treatment [77, 91.…”

It is common opinion that temporomandibular joint pain-dysfunction (TMJPD) syndrome and bruxism have a major psychosomatic component. In this paper, we try to review these entities in an integrated manner, taking into account both medical and psychological aspects. Two etiological models have been developed: the structural model emphasizes the role played by malocclusion or alterations of the maxillomandibular relationship, while the functional model underscores the role of stress, emotional tension, and personality characteristics. In TMJPD and bruxist patients a careful physical and psychological examination has to be performed. The classical dental treatment is based on equilibration procedures, prostheses and drugs. Treatment strategy can also be based on psychotherapeutic and relaxation treatments; in this respect, the use of EMG biofeedback training has been subjected to intense study.

“…Behavioral strategies are based on relaxation, biofeedback, and hypnosis. Although some bruxers refer a sensation of well-being, no persistent or clear effects have been obtained with this approach [181,182]. Obviously, standard sleep hygiene should be recommended for patients affected by sleep bruxism.…”

Several movement disorders may occur during nocturnal rest disrupting sleep. A part of these complaints is characterized by relatively simple, non-purposeful and usually stereotyped movements. The last version of the International Classification of Sleep Disorders includes these clinical conditions (i.e. restless legs syndrome, periodic limb movement disorder, sleep-related leg cramps, sleep-related bruxism and sleep-related rhythmic movement disorder) under the category entitled sleep-related movement disorders. Moreover, apparently physiological movements (e.g. alternating leg muscle activation and excessive hypnic fragmentary myoclonus) can show a high frequency and severity impairing sleep quality. Clinical and, in specific cases, neurophysiological assessments are required to detect the presence of nocturnal movement complaints. Patients reporting poor sleep due to these abnormal movements should undergo non-pharmacological or pharmacological treatments.

“…• Stress reduction [34], relaxation, biofeedback [35,36], hypnosis [37], and improvement of sleep hygiene have been tried with no persistent or significant improvement. • The most prominent interventions for sleep bruxism are occlusal appliances, such as night guards for protection of teeth.…”

Non-rapid eye movement parasomnias are unique physical or experiential phenomena that disrupt sleep. Non-rapid eye movement parasomnias are common in children, but they typically outgrow them. Sleep-stage shifts caused by sleep-disordered breathing and associated arousals may be precipitating events for episodes of parasomnia. Seizure disorders should always be considered in the differential diagnosis for the evaluation of parasomnias. Violent or injurious sleepwalking should be rapidly evaluated and treated.
