Shear wave sonoelastography (SWS) can reliably assess the stiffness of masticatory muscles.Orofacial pain, particularly affecting the ipsilateral masseter muscles, exhibited increased stiffness, with a similar trend observed in the temporalis muscle as revealed by SWS. However, the stiffness of the lateral pterygoid muscle appeared to remain unaffected.These findings establish a foundational framework for the objective and quantitative assessment of orofacial pain and indicate the potential utility of SWS as a tool for evaluating treatment outcomes.
