Background: This cross-sectional study evaluated the relationship between sleep disturbance levels and Trigeminal neuralgia disorder during 2019-2020 in School of Dentistry of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.Methods: 49 patients with Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) disorder under treatment, referring to department of maxillofacial medicine of School of Dentistry of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, who were chosen according to available sampling were included in the study and 40 healthy persons also have been recruited in the control group.The Persian version of Pittsburgh sleep quality questionnaire (PSQI) was usted to evaluate sleep disturbance of the participants. The final results were compared with Chi-square test, and more than ninety-five percents reliability was reflected significant (P <0.05).Results: 56.89 ± 10.93 was the TN participants’ group mean age and 37.12 ±9.55 was the mean age of the control group. The sleep disturbance of patients with TN was meaningfully higher in comparison with control group (P.value <0.0001). The sleep disturbances mean level in each group between men and women was not significant (P.value >0.05). However, the mean level of sleep disturbance of women and men in the group of TN patients was meaningfully higher than that of men and women in the group of control (P.value :0.001). The sleep disturbances mean level was higher in TN patients only in the age range of 41-50 years (P.value =0.02)Conclusion: The patients with trigeminal neuralgia had meaningfully lower level of sleep quality than control group.
