I had to be treated for TMJ some 20 years ago, and was given a night guard, as well. My dentist/ortho gave me electric shock treatments to relax the, muscles; that was a bit painful, too. But, I eventually stopped grinding my jaws together.
Stress management was the biggest help (and a glass of wine before bed). But, my jaws are affected by bone degeneration in my joints; not much help there, sorry.
