Additionally, it has been known that a psychological stress task affects masseter muscle activity, and autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity modulation induces masseter muscle activity. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate whether task-induced stress and experimental esophageal acid infusion increase masseter muscle activity and alter ANS activity, compared to rest task and esophageal saline infusion, respectively. Methods: Polygraphic monitoring, consisting of electromyography of the masseter muscle and electrocardiography was performed in 12 healthy adult men during 30-min interventions with intra-esophageal saline or acid infusion, while reading a book quietly, as rest, and while performing calculation, as a stress task. Results: At rest, masseter muscle activity and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) activity during acid infusion was significantly higher (P=0.019) and lower (P=0.021) than during saline infusion, respectively. During saline infusion, both masseter muscle activity and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity or PNS activity while performing the calculation task were higher (P = 0.022 and 0.012, respectively) or lower (P = 0.007) than those during the reading task, respectively. In two-way repeated-measures ANOVA, intra-esophageal infusion (saline or acid) significantly affected masseter muscle activity (P=0.008) and PNS activity (P=0.021). However, performing tasks (reading or calculation) significantly affected only PNS activity (P= 0.028). Conclusion: Intra-esophageal acid infusion significantly increased masseter muscle activity and decreased PNS activity. In contrast, stress task significantly decreased PNS activity, but only modestly increased masseter muscle activity and SNS activity.
