The Phase I objective is to design a biofeedback apparatus for the home treatment of nocturnal bruxism and to conduct a pilot study on its effectiveness. This apparatus will consist of a bruxism sensor and radio transmitter that can be integrated into any custom dental acrylic splint. When a bruxing event is detected, a radio signal proportional to bruxing force triggers a nightstand alarm. The nightstand unit will be programmable to ignore a percentage of bruxing events, thus implementing the selectable reinforcement schedule thought necessary by learning theorists. In addition, it will record times and frequencies of such events allowing the patient to monitor progress and the clinician to keep statistics. The goals of Phase I are to integrate a bruxism sensor and telemetry unit into a comfortable splint, to develop a receiver/alarm unit, and to carry out a pilot study on efficacy. These efforts will form the basis for a Phase II collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh Dental School to refine the device, implement clinical trials and FDA qualify a commercial instrument. As an estimated 5% of the adult population exhibit pathological bruxing, the development of an effective home treatment device should have wide commercial appeal.

第一阶段的目标是设计一种家用生物反馈装置 夜间磨牙症的治疗并对其进行初步研究 效力。 该设备将由磨牙症传感器和无线电组成 可集成到任何定制牙科丙烯酸夹板中的发射器。 当检测到磨牙事件时，会发出与磨牙成比例的无线电信号 强制触发床头柜警报。 床头柜单元将是 可编程忽略一定比例的磨牙事件，从而实现 学习所需的可选强化计划 理论家。 此外，它还会记录此类事件的次数和频率。 允许患者监测进展情况并让临床医生随时了解事件 统计数据。 第一阶段的目标是集成磨牙传感器和遥测单元 装入舒适的夹板中，开发接收器/警报装置，并携带 进行一项关于功效的试点研究。 这些努力将构成 与匹兹堡大学牙科学院的第二阶段合作 完善设备、实施临床试验并获得 FDA 资格商业化 乐器。 据估计 5% 的成年人口表现出 病理性磨牙，开发有效的家庭治疗设备 应具有广泛的商业吸引力。
