The pain site the patient complained about could not be verified, clinically, to be causing the condition. A functional diagnosis revealed a trigger point at the upper anterior edge of the left superficial masseter muscle as the primary site of pain, from which the pain was radiating...
Muscle satellite cells expressed P2Y12 receptors, and ADP-P2Y12 signaling increased the TNF-α release from these cells. TNF-α signaling enhanced the primary neuronal excitability, inducing masseter muscle pain.Section snippets Data statement The data that support the findings of this study are ...
A major subgroup of patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders have masticatory muscle hypersensitivity. To study myofacial temporomandibular pain, a number of preclinical models have been developed to induce myogenic pain of the masseter musc
BOTOX® injections help relax the masseter muscle by limiting its movement. Once injected, the muscle can stop working so hard and exerting so much pressure.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate electromyography findings of masseter and anterior temporal muscle activity during chewing, in children with posterior cross bite, considering their distinct facial morphology, working and non-working sides, cross bite and non-cross bite and preferred...
Self-assessed pain intensity on a numeric rating scale (NRS) was evaluated up to 10 minutes following the injection, and MPS was evaluated after application (at 5 minutes and 30 minutes) of three different forces (0.5 kg, 1 kg, and 2 kg) to 15 different sites of the masse...
The ratio between head and jaw movement amplitudes was significantly larger during the first pain trial compared with control. ConclusionsExperimental masseter muscle pain in humans affected integrated jaw–neck movements by increasing the neck component during continuous jaw opening-closing tasks. The ...

muscle paininflammationTRP channelstrigeminal painCraniofacial muscle pain, such as spontaneous pain and bite-evoked pain, are major symptoms in patients with temporomandibular disorders and infection. However, the underlying mechanisms of muscle pain, especially mechanisms of highly prevalent spontaneous pain...
