Association Between Maximum Mouth Opening and Masseter Muscle Elasticity in Oral Cancer Patients: A Study Using Sonographic Elastography
In Brief
An observational study evaluating ultrasonographic imaging for Oral Cancer. Currently recruiting, targeting 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The study aims to assess the hardness of masticatory muscles in post-surgical oral cancer patients using strain elastography ultrasound, calculating the masseter elasticity index and exploring its association with maximum interincisal mouth opening. Furthermore, the study incorporates exercise training to analyze whether changes in masseter hardness can serve as an objective indicator for predicting the improvement of trismus.
