BBTI vs PSR in Musculoskeletal Orofacial Pain Adults
Sponsor: Ian Boggero, PhD
Summary
This clinical study aims to compare the efficacy of two brief psychological interventions: Brief Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (BBIT) and Physical Self-Regulation or (PSR) delivered over telehealth for the management of chronic musculoskeletal orofacial pain conditions (local myalgia, myofascial pain, centrally mediated myalgia) in a tertiary orofacial pain clinic. It is hypothesized that both interventions will produce beneficial changes and exploratory analysis will aim to establish which intervention -if any- is better for each specific outcome.
