“…In the past the biofeedback with electrical pulses has successfully helped reduce temporalis muscle activity without disrupting sleep [35] in subjects with sleep bruxism. The encouraging effects of sEMG based biofeedback in managing orofacial muscle pain [36][37][38], reducing muscle hyperactivity [39,40] and improving muscle hypoactivity [41][42][43] are well documented and supported by studies with high levels of evidence [44][45][46]. Pairing of the ubiquitous smartphone that everyone carries along with them opens up distinct possibilities for biofeedback and/or ecological momentary intervention [47] based rehabilitation with wearable sEMG devices.…”

Wearable devices are worn on or remain in close proximity of the human body. The use of wearable devices speci c to the orofacial region are steadily increasing. Orofacial applications of wearable devices include supplementing diagnosis, tracking treatment progress, monitoring patient compliance and understanding oral parafunctional behaviours. In this short communication, the role of wearable devices in advancing personalized dental medicine are highlighted with a speci c focus on masticatory muscle activity monitoring in naturalistic settings. Additionally, challenges, opportunities as well as future research areas for successful use of wearable devices for precise, personalized care of muscle disorders are discussed.

“…9,36 Several psychosocial interventions have demonstrated feasibility and potential utility of use among people living with chronic orofacial pain including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, relaxation, and biofeedback. [36][37][38][39][40] However, prior research notes limited discussion between providers and patients of such opportunities, resulting in limited access to these interventions. 9 Our results indicate a need for accessible programs to be more commonly embedded in standard care to address the specific psychological experiences of people with chronic orofacial pain.…”

Objective Chronic orofacial pain is prevalent and debilitating. Psychological and social factors place a heavy burden on this population but are often overlooked. Here, we offer the first comprehensive qualitative conceptualization of the challenges of living with chronic orofacial pain through a biopsychosocial perspective to inform multifaceted care for this population. Design We employed a qualitative thematic analysis of open text responses using a hybrid inductive-deductive approach and a biopsychosocial framework. Methods Two hundred and sixty participants with chronic orofacial pain responded to an open-ended question: “What is the biggest challenge you face in managing your condition?” by typing their responses into a text box as part of an online survey. We mapped responses onto biomedical, psychological, and social themes (deductive) and concurrently identified findings within each theme that emerged directly from the data (inductive). Results Subthemes within the biomedical theme included challenges with biomedical pain management, medication side effects, sensory triggers, physical symptoms of stress/tension, and biological functions and related activities of daily living. Subthemes within the psychological theme included anxiety, depression, emotional symptoms of stress, unpredictability/uncertainty of pain, and psychological and cognitive aspects of medication management. Subthemes within the social theme included social relational, experience with providers, socioeconomics and access to care, and roles and responsibilities. Conclusion Chronic orofacial pain is associated with multifaceted challenges. Consideration of individuals’ experiences of biomedical, psychological, and social challenges in the assessment, referral, and treatment of chronic orofacial pain holds the potential to promote more comprehensive, patient-centered care for this population.
