Radio eletric assimetric conveyer - REAC neuromodulation modifies tongue position and the stress response in bruxism : observational study

Abstract Awake bruxism is defined as a clenching-type activity characterized by silent, sustained, and strong tooth contact with isometric muscle contractions, without mandibular excursions, clinically perceived the presence of indentations on lateral anterior edges tongue, occurs in most population associated stress response. In this context neuromodulation protocols radio electric asymmetric conveyer (REAC) technology, modulating neuronal endogenous bioelectric activity, have been shown to be effective attenuating psychopathological symptoms, recovering functional dysmetria improving quality life people neurodegenerative disorders. The present study aims report experience using REAC neuro postural optimization (NPO) treatment protocol group healthy university students. Indentations tongue were evaluated convenience sample 60 individuals who volunteered receive REAC-NPO treatment, pattern lingual positioning after swallowing, was also detected Payne technique. After 48 hours, subjects reassessed blindly two external evaluators. Ethical aspects are guaranteed CEP - UNIFAP 4.763.000 protocol. Of evaluated, 40 (66%) had typical before hours only 15 (25%) marks 58 (96%) relevant changes swallowing 50 them (83%) able bring edge behind cervical third teeth 11 12 during movement, considered typical. This pilot suggests that response skeletal striated musculature modified there an immediate attenuation awake bruxism, through bioelectrical interaction established NPO Research Category Technology Methods Clinical Research: 5.
