睡眠障碍和磨牙是慢性面部疼痛患者的常见临床特征。先前的研究表明，报告睡眠紊乱的慢性疼痛患者表现出更多的精神病理，对治疗的反应也不太好。磨牙症与情绪压力和艰难的生活变化有关。本研究探讨了睡眠障碍或磨牙症是否能有效预测面部疼痛人群的精神病理。精神病理学采用明尼苏达多相人格量表（MMPI）进行测量。据预测，报告睡眠障碍或磨牙的面部疼痛患者在MMPI谱上的得分更高。研究结果显示，自我报告的睡眠紊乱与较高的MMPI得分之间存在很强的联系。磨牙组和非磨牙组的MMPI评分没有差异。结论是，睡眠障碍可能是面部疼痛人群中心理障碍的有效预测因子，而磨牙症没有发现与MMPI测量的心理障碍相关。
Sleep disturbance and bruxism are common clinical characteristics of the chronic facial pain patient. Previous studies have shown that chronic pain patients reporting disturbed sleep show more psychopathology and respond less readily to treatment. Bruxism has been linked to emotional stress and periods of difficult life change. The present study explored the question of whether sleep disturbance or bruxism are useful predictors of psychopathology in the facial pain population. Psychopathology was measured by using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). It was predicted that facial pain patients who reported sleep disturbance or bruxism would correlate with more elevated scores on the MMPI profiles. The results of the study revealed a strong association between self-report of disturbed sleep and higher MMPI scores. No difference between the MMPI scores of bruxers and non-bruxers was found. It was concluded that sleep disturbance may be an effective predictor of psychological disturbance within the facial pain population, while bruxism was not found to be associated with psychological disturbance as measured by the MMPI.
