This work shows presence and expressiveness of the syndrome of vegetative dystonia (VDS) and anxiety in the emotional sphere in 372 patients suffering from idiopathic form of neuralgia of the trigeminal nerve (TNN). It was found that intensity of the accompanying psychovegetative disorders in TNN prevailed in the group of women and in the age over 45 years irrespectively of the gender of patients. In the group of men the degree of the VDS and anxiety in the emotional sphere prevailed in the right form of damage, and in the group of women was type of the left lateral damage. The authors suggest that the data obtained should be taking into account during choice of vegetotropic and psychotropic drugs in the range of complex therapy of TNN.
