Sleep Quality And Pain
Results of analyses using assessments collapsed across days and times showed that, overall,
sleep quality was correlated with patient-reported pain intensity, pain interference, downtime, positive affect, negative affect, and pain catastrophizing in directions indicating that poor sleep was related to greater pain . Although the prevalence of sleep disturbance is widely studied among individuals with chronic LBP, just one study describes the prevalence of sleep disturbance among patients with acute LBP and no studies have assessed sleep disturbances in individuals with subacute LBP. The lack of research on the impact of sleep in individuals with acute or subacute LBP is troubling as sleep is critical for normal body system functioning and healing. A poor understanding of sleep issues in people with acute and subacute LBP could hinder their recovery. Furthermore, because sleep disturbance has been shown to extend cytokines, it's possible that poor
sleep quality in individuals with acute or subacute
low back pain limits their ability to heal, increases pain perception, and may cause the progression to chronic LBP. Therefore, much additional research on
sleep quality within the various phases of LBP is important . The prevalence of sleep in acute LBP and its relationship to pain intensity was examined Alsaadi and colleagues .
