Entropy of Masseter Muscle Pain Sensitivity: A New Technique for Pain Assessment.

CONCLUSION: These results suggest that manipulation of MPS of the masseter muscle with painful glutamate injections can increase the diversity of MPS, which is reflected in entropy measures. Entropy allows quantification of the diversity of MPS, which may be important in clinical assessment of pain states such as myofascial temporomandibular disorders.
