All

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients aged 18 years or older who visit the Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery at Keio University Hospital and are diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders or masticatory myofascial pain during clinical evaluation.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Individuals with a history of temporomandibular joint surgery Individuals with cognitive impairment that hinders understanding and participation in the study

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Angular velocity and acceleration of the mandible during jaw movement measured by the IMU sensors of AirPods Pro *Timepoints:At initial visit and at the time of pain improvement

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Mandibular motion trajectory captured via facial motion tracking (TrueDepth camera) 2. Pain score using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) 3. Maximum mouth opening (mm) 4. Presence of temporomandibular joint sounds (clicking or crepitus) 5. MPIC-J (Multidimensional Pain Inventory for Chronic Pain - Japanese version) scores 6. Clinical findings from muscle palpation of the masticatory muscles
