Summary

Orofacial pain is diagnosed for more than 1.9 percent of general population and for 0.3 percent origin of the facial pain is unknown. Commonly atypical facial pain is treated as a neurological condition without an emotional or psychiatric evaluation. Since atypical pain and mood affective disorders can be related, patients do not receive proper care for this condition. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between atypical facial pain syndrome and affective mood disorders. We aim to assess patients' with no diagnosed organic pathology tendency towards anxiety, depression, sleep disorders and one of big five personality traits through self-rating questionnaires. We will compare the gathered data with biosensors from iMotions software.
