Clinical Trial: The Effect of Prolonged Sugar-Free Chewing Gum Mastication on Self-Reported Fatigue Levels and Changes of Static and Dynamic Surface Electromyography Parameters in Young Individuals With and Without Temporomandibular Joint Disorders.

U.S., Dec. 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07273123) titled 'The Effect of Prolonged Sugar-Free Chewing Gum Mastication on Self-Reported Fatigue Levels and Changes of Static and Dynamic Surface Electromyography Parameters in Young Individuals With and Without Temporomandibular Joint Disorders.' on Nov. 26.

Brief Summary: This case-control study investigates fatigue induced by prolonged gum mastication in individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The study addresses two primary questions:

How does self-reported fatigue, measured with a visual analogue scale (VAS), change during sustained chewing? How do static and dynamic surface electromyographic (sEMG) parameters evolve over the s...
