Sleep bruxism (SB) is a movement disorder identified by grinding of teeth and rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA). RMMA is associated with body movements and cortical arousals. Increases in autonomic sympathetic activities that characterize sleep cortical arousal precede RMMA/SB. Based on these findings, this study examined whether RMMA/SB episodes are also associated with significant changes in arterial blood pressure (BP).
