Masticatory behavior was monitored with apple and carrot as test foods, and parameters such as chewing time, number of chews, and chewing force were recorded. Participants were clustered based on masticatory patterns using an unsupervised learning approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Two distinct clusters of masticatory behavior emerged from the analysis. Cluster 1, representing 27.5% of TN1 patients, was characterized by prolonged chewing duration, a greater number of chewing cycles, and reduced chewing force compared to Cluster 0. Specifically, during apple mastication, Cluster 1 showed a 24% increase in chewing time (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.02), a twofold increase in the number of chews (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and a 50% reduction in chewing force (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). When chewing carrots, the number of chews increased by 57% (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), while chewing force decreased by 64% (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Chewing frequency was also significantly higher in Cluster 1 for both food types (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Furthermore, a higher prevalence of TN1 patients was found in Cluster 1 compared to Cluster 0 (\u03c7\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \u2009=\u20094.53,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.05), suggesting an association between altered masticatory behavior and trigeminal neuralgia. Nonetheless, the presence of some TN1 patients in Cluster 0 indicates that masticatory function may remain intact in certain individuals, possibly due to milder pain symptoms or the development of compensatory coping strategies.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\u201cChewing\u201d device successfully quantified and differentiated masticatory patterns, providing valuable insights into functional adaptations.
