Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Investigating the effect of botulinum neurotoxin on the jaw-neck envelope of motion.

Detailed Description
Research subjects will be allocated to placebo or botulinum neurotoxin intervention. A control group will not receive any intervention. The intervention will be administered at three separate sessions with 12 weeks in between. Prior to intervention, and 6 months after last intervention the jaw-neck envelope of motion will be studied using 3D optoelectronic recording systems.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change of range of motion [Baseline and 6 months after last intervention. Measurements compared to baseline values.]
Measured on a cartesian plane in millimeters.
- Change of envelope of motion [Baseline and 6 months after last intervention. Measurements compared to baseline values.]
Volume of envelope of motion measured in cubic millimeters.
- Change of length in chewing cycles [Baseline and 6 months after last intervention. Measurements compared to baseline values.]
Repetitive chewing cycles, measured in milliseconds.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change of muscle thickness [Baseline and 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after last intervention. Measurements compared to baseline values.]
Masseter muscle thickness measured through ultrasonography
- Change of maximal voluntary bite force [Baseline and 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after last intervention. Measurements compared to baseline values.]
Measured through a strain gauge meter
- Tooth wear, change of hard tissue mass [Baseline and 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after last intervention. Measurements compared to baseline values.]
Intraoral scanning. Tooth wear measured in cubic millimeters.
