| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Blood pressure (BP) decreases during sleep and the lack of the reduction is associated with cardiovascular events. Sleep bruxism evokes an increase in heart rate (HR) and may be one of the causes of nocturnal hypertension. We continuously measured beat-by-beat BP and sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) during sleep including bruxism period, and found that decreased BP and SNA during sleep were increased and increased R-R interval (RRI) and parasympathetic nerve activity (PSNA) were decreased by bruxism. The changes in BP and RRI were observed immediately before bruxism and those in SNA and PSNA were observed ~2o sec before bruxism. Cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) increased during sleep or sedation, but it was decreased by sleep bruxism or pain stimulation. On the other hand, sympathetic BRS remained unchanged in neither condition. Furthermore, bruxism frequency during sleep in hypoxia was higher than that in normoxia.
