About this study
The aim of this study was to investigate the possible effects of the use of lavender, marjoram and vetiver oil via inhalation and/or massage application on the treatment of bruxism.
Read the detailed description
Bruxism is a repetitive jaw muscle activity characterized by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or bracing or thrusting of the mandible. Due to increasing evidence suggesting that it may serve a physiological purpose, bruxism has been defined as jaw muscle activity that may occur during sleep and/or wakefulness.
Various methods have been proposed for the treatment of bruxism. These treatment approaches include pharmacological treatments (such as muscle relaxants and clonazepam), orthopedic treatments (such as stabilization splints and rigid stabilization appliances), needling treatments (including acupuncture, botulinum toxin type A, and dry needling), physical and behavioral approaches (such as relaxation training, stress management, biofeedback, and sleep hygiene instructions), manual treatments including exercises (trigger point therapy, soft tissue techniques, exercises, postural corrections, joint mobilizations, and cervical spine treatment), and other physical therapy modalities (including low-level laser therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, and short-wave diathermy).
Manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and their combination have been shown to effectively reduce pain and improve mandibular function. Massage therapy, which activates the pain-gate mechanism, is an effective treatment option for pain relief. It also stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system and helps restore muscle length and flexibility. In addition, massage therapy improves local blood circulation and promotes the production of endogenous opioids, leading to relaxing effects and reduced pain perception. These effects are of particular interest in the management of bruxism; however, this treatment approach has not been adequately investigated despite its promising results.
Massage therapy can be combined with aromatherapy, one of the most commonly used complementary therapy methods. Its therapeutic effects are based on stimulation of the olfactory system and absorption of active molecules through the skin. Various studies have investigated the analgesic effects of aromatherapy massage using lavender essential oil. Lavandula angustifolia is a well-known medicinal and aromatic plant with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. In addition, it has antiseptic, soothing, circulation-stimulating, and cell-regenerating effects. Lavender oil has been reported to reduce pain in patients with various conditions, including neuropathic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, burns, and cancer-related pain. Apart from lavender oil, marjoram oil may contribute to pain control and anxiety reduction, while vetiver oil is known for its sedative effects. However, the effects of aromatherapy massage using these essential oils have not been adequately investigated in patients with bruxism.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of lavender, marjoram, and vetiver essential oils administered through aromatherapy massage in patients with bruxism. Objective outcomes will be assessed through ultrasonographic evaluation of the masseter muscle, while subjective outcomes will be evaluated using patient-reported questionnaires. The findings of this study may contribute to the development of complementary treatment approaches for the management of bruxism.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Aromatherapy with Essential Oil Blend (Lavender, Marjoram, Vetiver)Other
Participants receive aromatherapy using a proprietary essential oil blend (Lavender Lavandula angustifolia, Marjoram Origanum majorana, and Vetiver Vetiveria zizanioides; Art De Huile®, formulated by Hülya Kayhan). The blend is administered by inhalation twice daily and extraoral massage once daily throughout the study period.
Carrier Oil (Sesame Oil)Other
Participants receive carrier oil (sesame oil) administered through inhalation and extraoral massage according to the same protocol used in the intervention group.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Aromatherapy Group | Experimental | Participants receive aromatherapy by inhalation twice daily and extraoral massage once daily throughout the study period. Outcomes are evaluated using ultrasonographic measurements and patient-reported questionnaires. Receives: Other: Aromatherapy with Essential Oil Blend (Lavender, Marjoram, Vetiver) |
| Control Group | Placebo comparator | Participants receive carrier oil (sesame oil) administered through inhalation and extraoral massage following the same protocol as the intervention group. Outcomes are evaluated using ultrasonographic measurements and patient-reported questionnaires. Receives: Other: Carrier Oil (Sesame Oil) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Masseter Muscle Elasticity
Assessment of changes in masseter muscle elasticity using shear-wave elastography measured by ultrasonography.
Measured: Baseline to Week 4
Change in Masseter Muscle Thickness
Assessment of changes in masseter muscle thickness measured by ultrasonography.
Measured: Baseline to Week 4
Secondary outcomes (2)
Change in Bruxism-Related Symptoms
Assessment of changes in bruxism-related symptoms (jaw pain, headache, tooth sensitivity, fatigue, and perceived stress/anxiety) using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Each symptom is rated from 0 (no symptom) to 10 (worst imaginable symptom). Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms. A study-specific patient-reported questionnaire is also used to document the presence and characteristics of bruxism-related symptoms.
Measured: Baseline to Week 4
Patient Satisfaction With Treatment
Assessment of participant satisfaction with the intervention using a study-specific patient-reported questionnaire. Treatment satisfaction is rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied). Higher scores indicate greater treatment satisfaction.
Measured: Week 4

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Aromatherapy with Essential Oil Blend (Lavender, Marjoram, Vetiver) and Carrier Oil (Sesame Oil) in people with Bruxism and Bruxism, Sleep, run by Necmettin Erbakan University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Masseter Muscle Elasticity (time frame: Baseline to Week 4). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07665398, which also lists 12 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jul 2026.
