En el año 2020, debido a la pandemia de COVID-19, la vida pública se restringió masivamente, incluida la prohibición total del aprendizaje/enseñanza presencial en las escuelas y universidades. En un corto período de tiempo, la población se adaptó a sistemas digitales y en línea. La vida académica y privada se afectó por el impacto de las normas de contacto social e higiene. Para este estudio bibliográfico se analizaron 25 artículos científicos que fueron la base estructural de la investigación obtenidos de Scielo, PubMed y Redalyc, cuyo objetivo es analizar el estrés y su impacto durante la pandemia por COVID-19. Los resultados más relevantes indicaron que, durante la época de pandemia entre el 10 y el 30 % del público en general manifestó temores importantes de contraer la enfermedad. A causa del confinamiento, se reportaron aumento en las emociones negativas y el nivel de morbilidad psiquiátrica. En China uno de los lugares donde se originó en teoría el virus encontró que entre 1210 encuestados, el 53,8 % calificó el impacto psicológico del brote como moderado o grave, el 16,5 % informó síntomas depresivos moderados a graves, el 28,8 % informó síntomas de ansiedad moderados a graves y el 8,1% reportó niveles de estrés moderados a severos. En conclusión, el estudio revela variables psicológicas relacionadas con COVID-19. Si bien el distanciamiento social pudo hacer que las personas se sientan más seguras, también se aumentaron sus sentimientos de aislamiento, estrés y frustración hasta causar dificultades en su vida cotidiana.

“…During the COVID-19 pandemic, several studies investigated the correlation of psychosomatic symptoms with the presence of episodes of teeth clenching. In a population of 370 college students, 30.5% (n = 113) reported being “very stressed” during the pandemic, with low or very low sleep quality (44.3% (n = 164)), and 113 students reported clenching their teeth during the day, associated with headache [ 11 ].…”

Excessive masticatory muscle activity is generally present in awake bruxism, which is related to increased anxiety and stress. It has been hypothesized that biofeedback could potentially manage awake bruxism, however, its effectiveness has not been empirically analyzed in a systematic manner. Therefore, this systematic review was designed to determine the effectiveness of biofeedback compared to other therapies in adults with awake bruxism. Extensive searches in five databases looking for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that included biofeedback to manage awake bruxism were targeted. The risk of bias (RoB) assessment was conducted using the Cochrane RoB-2 tool. Overall, four studies were included in this systematic review, all of which used the electromyographic activity of the masticatory muscles during the day and night as the main endpoint. Auditory and visual biofeedback could reduce the excessive level of masticatory muscle activity in a few days of intervention. The majority of the included studies had a high RoB and only one study had a low RoB. The standardization of the biofeedback protocols was also inconsistent, which makes it difficult to establish the ideal protocol for the use of biofeedback in awake bruxism. Thus, it is proposed that future studies seek to reduce methodological risks and obtain more robust samples.

“…The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on subjective sleep quality, prolonged sleep latency, and worsened sleep quality were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and insomnia symptoms, especially sleep initiation problems, were evaluated using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) [ 7 , 12 ] were reported. Another study reported that 18% of university students responded in the affirmative to the item “began to have insomnia” [ 13 ].…”
