Thirty SB subjects were randomly assigned into two groups evenly. The placebo group received saline injections into each masseter muscle, and the treatment group received BoNT-A injections into each masseter muscle. Audio\u2013video\u2013polysomnographic recordings in the sleep laboratory were made before, at four weeks after, and at 12 weeks after injection. Sleep and SB parameters were scored according to the diagnostic and coding manual of American Academy of Sleep Medicine. The change of sleep and SB parameters were investigated using repeated measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA). Twenty-three subjects completed the study (placebo group 10, treatment group 13). None of the SB episode variables showed a significant time and group interaction (p &gt; 0.05) except for electromyography (EMG) variables. The peak amplitude of EMG bursts during SB showed a significant time and group interaction (p = 0.001). The injection decreased the peak amplitude of EMG bursts during SB only in the treatment group for 12 weeks (p &lt; 0.0001). A single BoNT-A injection cannot reduce the genesis of SB. However, it can be an effective management option for SB by reducing the intensity of the masseter muscle.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/toxins12030168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,13]],"date-time":"2020-03-13T08:58:59Z","timestamp":1584089939000},"page":"168","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["Botulinum Toxin Therapy for Managing Sleep Bruxism: A Randomized and Placebo\u2014Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7514-5974","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Young Joo","family":"Shim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine, College of Dentistry, Wonkwang University, Daejeon 35233, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hee Jin","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine, Yonsei University Dental Hospital, Seoul 03722, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keun Jeong","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine, Yonsei University Dental Hospital, Seoul 03722, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hyung Tack","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TMJ &amp; Orofacial Pain Clinic, Los Angeles, CA 90006, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Il Hee","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Seoul Sleep Clinic, Seoul 06052, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9506-5103","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seong Taek","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine, College of Dentistry, Yonsei University, Seoul 03722, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"American Academy of Sleep Medicine (2014).
