Genes and bruxism: a study on teeth grinding
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how certain genes might be linked to bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching). It may help researchers understand why some people grind their teeth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study explores how teeth grinding (bruxism), stress, and sleep problems affect gum disease. Researchers will compare people who grind their teeth with those who don't to understand what makes gum disease worse.
This study looks at how stress in children and their parents might be linked to teeth grinding (bruxism) in kids ages 8 to 11. If your child grinds or clenches their teeth (or does not), both groups are needed to compare stress levels.
This study tests whether a classical massage can help relieve jaw tension and other symptoms of teeth grinding (bruxism) in college students, compared to standard treatments. If you grind or clench your teeth and are between 18 and 27, this might be a non-invasive option to explore.
This study looks at whether teeth grinding (bruxism) is linked to pelvic floor muscle function in young women. If you are 18–30 and either grind your teeth or do not, you may help researchers understand this connection.
This study looks at the connection between teeth grinding (bruxism), anxiety, and gum health in dental students. Researchers want to understand how stress and grinding habits affect the teeth and gums of students in their final years of dental school.
This study looks at how teeth grinding (bruxism) is linked to pelvic pain, erectile function, and anxiety in young adult men. It aims to understand if these issues are connected, which could help develop better treatments.
