Summary
This study will use ultrasound to measure the thickness of the masseter (jaw) muscle in 90 adults—45 with chronic neck pain and 45 healthy. The goal is to see if the muscle is different in those with neck pain and how it relates to pain intensity and disability. No treatment is given; it is purely an observational study to gather knowledge.
