Journal Title: Türk Uyku Tıbbı Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: Trigeminal neuralgia is one of the most common causes of chronic neuropathic facial pain. Psychiatric and psychosocial disorders such as especially depression, anxiety disorder and sleep disorders are more frequent in patients with trigeminal neuralgia; however, a clear temporal-causal relationship between trigeminal neuralgia with specific psychiatric and psychosocial disorders has not been well established. Our aim in this study is to compare the depression and anxiety levels, and sleep quality among patients with trigeminal neuralgia and healthy control group. Materials and Methods: A total of 64 patients (36 females, 28 males) were enrolled to study which 32 patients (19 females, 13 males) were diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia and 32 healthy volunteers (17 females, 15 males) as a control group. the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality index, Beck Anxiety scale, Beck Depression inventory and socio-demographic data form were used as assessment scales. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the socio-demographic assessments of the groups (p>0.05). Depression and anxiety levels in patients with trigeminal neuralgia were found to be statistically significantly higher than the control group, and sleep quality was statistically significantly lower than the control group (p<0.001). Conclusion: Trigeminal neuralgia might increase the risk of depressive disorder, anxiety disorder and sleep disorder. Therefore, an effective treatment of pain will help to reduce the depression and anxiety, and improve the quality of life in trigeminal neuralgia patients. In addition, treatment of depressive disorders such as depression and anxiety in these patients will affect the prognosis of disease in a positive.
