Atypical Orofacial Pain Diagnostics and Differentiation.
Atypical Orofacial Pain Diagnostics and Differentiation.
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.
