Which syndrome involves trigger points in muscles of mastication?

Bell's palsy
Myofascial pain syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Sjogren's syndrome

The correct answer is: Myofascial pain syndrome

Myofascial pain syndrome involves trigger points in the muscles of mastication, which refer pain to other areas of the head and neck. Bell's palsy is a facial nerve disorder that causes paralysis on one side of the face and is not associated with trigger points. Fibromyalgia is a widespread pain condition that is not limited to trigger points in the muscles of mastication. Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the glands responsible for producing moisture in the body and is not associated with trigger points in the muscles of mastication. Therefore, the other options are incorrect as they are not specifically related to trigger points in the muscles of mastication.
