Among the 66 studies in Bruxism with a site in Turkey, from their registry updates:
This study investigated the effects of adding cervical and sacroiliac mobilization to a Pilates-based exercise program on pain, perceived stress, pain catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, jaw functional limitation, cervical range of motion, cervical joint position error, and sacroiliac joint screening findings in individuals with bruxism. Thirty-eight participants were randomly allocated to a Pilates-only group (n=19) or a Manual Therapy + Pilates group (n=19). Both groups completed an 8-week, twice-weekly Pilates protocol (16 sessions); the Manual Therapy + Pilates group additionally received cervical and sacroiliac mobilization.
Bruxism is a repetitive jaw-muscle activity associated with musculoskeletal and psychosocial dysfunction, including cervical spine impairment and altered proprioception. This randomized study examined whether adding cervical and sacroiliac mobilization to a standardized Pilates-based exercise program produces greater improvements than Pilates alone. Outcomes included pain intensity (VAS), perceived stress (PSS-10), pain catastrophizing (PCS), kinesiophobia (TSK-17), jaw functional limitation (JFLS-8), cervical range of motion (goniometry), cervical joint position error, and sacroiliac joint screening (Standing Forward Flexion Test, Gillet Test), assessed before and after the 8-week intervention.

Participants completed an 8-week, twice-weekly Pilates-based exercise program (16 sessions, 30-40 minutes each).
Behavioral: Pilates-Based Exercise Program
Participants received cervical and sacroiliac mobilization in addition to the same 8-week, twice-weekly Pilates-based exercise program (16 sessions, 30-40 minutes each).
Behavioral: Pilates-Based Exercise Program · Procedure: Cervical and Sacroiliac Mobilization
A structured Pilates-based exercise program targeting core stability, posture, and cervical control, performed twice weekly for 8 weeks (16 sessions total, 30-40 minutes per session).
Manual mobilization techniques applied to the cervical spine and sacroiliac joint, performed in addition to the Pilates-based exercise program.
Pain Intensity (VAS)
Pain intensity assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (0-10 cm), with higher scores indicating greater pain.
Time frame: Baseline and after 8-week intervention
Perceived Stress (PSS-10)
Perceived stress assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10), with higher scores indicating greater perceived stress.
Time frame: Baseline and after 8-week intervention
Pain Catastrophizing (PCS)
Pain catastrophizing assessed using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), with higher scores indicating greater catastrophizing.
Time frame: Baseline and after 8-week intervention
Cervical Joint Position Error
Cervical proprioception assessed via joint position error (flexion, extension, right/left rotation), with smaller error indicating better proprioceptive accuracy.
Time frame: Baseline and after 8-week intervention
Cervical Range of Motion
Cervical range of motion (flexion, extension, right/left lateral flexion, right/left rotation) assessed with goniometry.
Time frame: Baseline and after 8-week intervention
Kinesiophobia (TSK-17)
Fear of movement/kinesiophobia assessed using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia-17 (TSK-17), with higher scores indicating greater kinesiophobia.
Time frame: Baseline and after 8-week intervention
Sacroiliac Joint Screening
Sacroiliac joint status assessed using the Standing Forward Flexion Test and the Gillet Test, categorized as negative or positive (with side/structure indicated when positive).
Time frame: Baseline and after 8-week intervention
Plan to share: No — Individual participant data will not be shared with other researchers, as the informed consent obtained from participants did not include provisions for sharing de-identified data beyond the scope of this study.

Ran from May 2026 to primary completion in Jun 2026, 1 month.
Of 59 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Bruxism, half reached primary completion within 8 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 13. This study's 1 month is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 60 studies reached it within 7 months; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 13.
