Jaw-Clenching Intensity Effects on Masseter Oxygen Dynamics and Fatigue: A NIRS Oximetry Study
Oxygen Transport to Tissue XLIII(2022)
摘要
The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of jaw-clenching intensity on masseter muscle oxygen dynamics during clenching and recovery and masseter muscle fatigue using the spatially resolved method of near-infrared spectroscopy. Pulse rate, mean power frequency from electromyography in the masseter and visual analogue scale for masseter fatigue were also examined as related items. The 25% and 50% maximum voluntary contractions were determined using electromyography before the experiment and used as visual feedback on the screen. Twenty-three healthy adult male subjects volunteered for this study. Clenching decreased oxygen and oxygenated haemoglobin, and increased deoxygenated haemoglobin in the masseter muscle. The higher the intensity of clenching, the more prominent the effect. The oxygen dynamics tended to return to normal after clenching, but the change was slower with higher clenching intensity. Pulse rate increased with clenching, and the increment was more prominent with higher clenching intensity. Clenching caused a shift of mean power frequency to a lower range, an increase in subjective fatigue, an early appearance of a breakpoint appearance time and a prolongation of a 1/2 recovery time. All of these effects were more evident with increasing clenching intensity. In conclusion, clenching intensity influenced the oxygen dynamics of the masseter muscle and fatigue state during clenching and recovery. The higher the intensity, the greater the impact.
