Floral Remedies for Sleep Bruxism Patients: A Randomized Trial for Attenuating Temporal Cephalic Pain

Pain Pain was evaluated twice, in the beginning and after 21 days of the treatment. Pain was scored using the visual analogue scale (VAS) described by Huskisson6 (1974) and modified by Finkel12. All results were recorded in each patient's folder, under restricted access.
Patients, holding the VAS, were asked to point to the face/score number that indicated the level of his or her pain. Pain level was measured as follows: No pain or the absence of any discomfort, scored as 0 (zero); mild pain, scored from 1 to 3; moderate pain, scored as 4, 5, 6 or 7; and severe pain, scored as 8, 9 or 10.

A question regarding sleep quality of the patients was answered after 21 days of the buccal-relaxant and placebo treatments. The question was: Did your sleep-quality improved? The answers were: Yes or No. All results were recorded in each patient's folder, under restricted access.
