Sleep Breath 2024; 28:1399-1407. [PMID: 38315317 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-024-02996-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Our study aimed to evaluate the impact of the menstrual cycle stages, especially menses, on sleep, inflammatory mediators, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and quality of life. METHODS We used data from the EPISONO study cohort, selecting 96 women who had undergone one-night polysomnography. The women were distributed in three groups according to the time point of the menstrual cycle on the polysomnography night: menses, mid/late follicular phase, and luteal phase. The volunteers completed questionnaires related to sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and quality of life. Blood samples were collected to analyze interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and C-reactive protein. RESULTS Sleep efficiency was statistically higher in women in the mid/late follicular group (89.9% ± 9.6) compared to menstrual (83.0% ± 10.8) and luteal (83.7% ± 12.7) groups. The mid/late follicular group presented a statistically significant reduction in sleep onset latency (7.1 ± 7.1 min) compared to the menstrual (22.3 ± 32.4 min) and luteal groups (15.9 ± 14.7 min). No statistical differences among the three groups were observed in other polysomnographic parameters, inflammatory mediators, daytime sleepiness, insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and quality of life. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate that the mid/late follicular phase might be beneficial for women's sleep, although there were no statistically changes in inflammatory mediators among the groups.

Can extending time between vital sign checks improve sleep in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients? Testing feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2024; 71:e30832. [PMID: 38197636 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.30832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) experience barriers to quality sleep. Frequent vital sign checks are necessary early posttransplant given risk of complications but can disrupt sleep. This study tested feasibility and acceptability of extending time between checking vitals (EVs) from every 4 to every 6 h to improve sleep. PROCEDURE HSCT patients ages 8-21 years (N = 50, mean age = 14.06, SD = 3.58) and their caregivers were enrolled 1-2 days prior to transplant, and 40 patients completed the 15-day study (NCT04106089). Patients wore an actigraph to estimate sleep and provided self- and caregiver-report of sleep. Sleep was observed for nights 0 to +4 posttransplant, and patients were then randomized to EVs either Days +5 to +9 or +10 to +14. Patients were assessed daily for medical eligibility to receive EVs; on days patients were eligible, nightshift nurses (N = 79) reported EV acceptability. RESULTS Of 200 potential nights for EVs (5 nights x 40 patients), patients were eligible for EVs on 126 nights (63% of eligible nights), and patients received EVs on 116 (92%) of eligible nights. Most patients received EVs ≥3 nights (n = 26, 65%, median = 3 nights). Most patients (85%), caregivers (80%), and nurses (84%) reported that patients used the additional 2 h during EVs for sleep, with reporters indicating moderate to high acceptability. There was preliminary evidence of efficacy indicated by caregiver-reported sleep disturbance and actigraphy-estimated improvements in sleep efficiency during EVs. CONCLUSION Extending time between vitals checks is highly acceptable to patients, caregivers, and nurses, and may offer a feasible approach to improve sleep in pediatric HSCT.

Allen N, Crock L, Chun T, Reinhard MJ. Investigating a clinically informed sleep disturbance threshold for physical and mental health among Gulf War Illness veterans. SLEEP ADVANCES : A JOURNAL OF THE SLEEP RESEARCH SOCIETY 2024; 5:zpae018. [PMID: 38616799 PMCID: PMC11015895 DOI: 10.1093/sleepadvances/zpae018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
Study Objectives This study (1) assessed sleep quality and health in Gulf War veterans (GWV) meeting the Gulf War Illness (GWI) criteria and (2) compared health associations for both those meeting a "clinically disturbed sleep" threshold, and those below, as determined by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) cutoff for military populations (≥10) on measures of physical, mental, and cognitive health. Methods Participant data consisted of questionnaires and assessments completed prior to group assignment in a clinical trial. The sample consisted of 147 GWV, where 81.0% were males, and the median age was 53.4 years. Results The mean (SD) PSQI global score was 12.34 (4.00) with 61% of the sample qualifying as clinically disturbed sleepers according to the cutoff (global PSQI ≥ 10). GWI veterans with PSQI scores ≥10 did not differ from others in age (p = 0.20), sex (p = 0.19), or years of education (p = 0.87), but showed worse GW-related symptomology on the Gulf War Kansas questionnaire (p < 0.01), and poorer mental health on the Veterans Rand-36 (p < 0.01). Conclusions Disturbed sleep was associated with measures of pain, fatigue, and cognitive health. Our results suggest that a previously determined clinical threshold for clinically disturbed sleep is useful when examining the health status of the study population. Given that GWI is associated with elevated PSQI scores and a high frequency of disturbed sleep, cutoffs determining sleep health should be sensitive to population exposures and health history to improve interpretability.

Ye X, Wang X. Associations of multimorbidity with body pain, sleep duration, and depression among middle-aged and older adults in China. Health Qual Life Outcomes 2024; 22:23. [PMID: 38413940 PMCID: PMC10900654 DOI: 10.1186/s12955-024-02238-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multimorbidity, body pain, sleep disturbance, and depression are major clinical and public health challenges. This paper aimed to examine the associations of multimorbidity with body pain, sleep duration, and depression; and whether the associations varied by socioeconomic status. METHODS Data was derived from four waves of the nationally representative China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), including participants aged 45 years and older in 2011. 12 physical non-communicable diseases and 1 mental chronic disease were used to measure multimorbidity. Educational attainment and annual per-capita household consumption expenditure were employed as proxies for socioeconomic status. RESULTS Of the 16,931 participants aged 45 + years old, the proportion of people with multimorbidity was 37.87% at baseline. The number of multimorbidity increased with older age and higher socioeconomic status. Multimorbidity was associated with more body pain (incidence rate ratio (IRR) = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.45-1.61), and decreased sleep duration (β = -0.26, 95% CI = -0.36--0.15). Furthermore, multimorbidity was associated with increased depression risks (odds ratio (OR) = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.44-1.64, adjusted for sociodemographic variables), with the mediating effects of the number of body pain and sleep duration. The associations between multimorbidity and depression persisted among different socioeconomic groups. CONCLUSIONS Multimorbidity was associated with increased body pain, decreased sleep duration, and further led to increased depression risks. It is necessary to pay attention to the multimorbidity of middle-aged and older adults, relieve their body pain, guarantee sufficient sleep, so as to reduce depression risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies reported that poor sleep quality (PSQ) was associated with musculoskeletal pains (MSP) and poor physical performance in athletes. OBJECTIVE The current study aimed at determining PSQ and its associations with MSP in some sub-Saharan athletes. METHODS A cross sectional study was conducted among 205 highly trained and 115 elite athletes (aged: 25 ± 2 years, Body mass index: 22.8 ± 0.9 kg/m2) in Dakar, Senegal, during a competitive season in a variety of sport disciplines including athletics, basketball, football, rugby, wrestling, tennis. Quality of sleep and MSP were assessed using the French version Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and French version of Nordic questionnaire respectively. Pain on body joints during a week was defined as seven-day MSP (MSP-7d) and PSQ for a PSQI > 5. RESULTS 27.8% (95%CI: 23.2-32.9) of the overall sample suffered PSQ, with 33.7% (95%CI: 24.7-44.0) in basketball and 24.7% (95%CI: 16.9-34.6) in football. According to athletic status and gender, PSQ was more prevalent among highly trained (66.3; 95%CI: 55.9-75.3) and men (69.7%; 95%CI: 59.5-78.7). Among athletes with PSQ 43.8% (95%CI: 33.9-54.2) suffered MSP-7d, with 36.6%; highly trained (95%CI: 23.7-42.9) and 28.1% female. Considering body region, hips/thigh (14.6%; 95% CI: 8.74-23.4) and upper back (13.5%; 95%CI: 7.88 -21, 1) were more affected. Basketball players were more affected from MSP (MSP-7d = 38.5%; 95%CI: 24. 9-54.1) on high on wrists/hands (MSP-7d = 44.4%; 95%CI: 18.9 -73.3; P = 0.04). Based on athletic status, MSP-7d were higher on highly trained necks (100%; 95%CI: 56.1-100; p = 0.04). PSQ was associated with basketball (OR: 3.062, 95%CI: 1.130-8.300, p = 0.02) compared to Athletic. PSQ and MSP-7d were associated on Wrist/hands (OR: 3.352, 95%CI: 1.235-9.099, p = 0.01), and at the upper back (OR: 5.820, 95%CI: 2.096-16.161, p = 0.0007). CONCLUSION These results indicate that PSQ is considerable among Senegalese athletes and is associated with MSP during a week. Hence, we recommend to look for strategies optimizing good quality of sleep in order to reduce pains, to improve health.

Abstract
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease affecting young people. It has a profound impact on their physical, mental and social lives, leading to long-term disability. With the growing awareness of the importance of sleep in all areas of functioning in young people, an emerging literature has drawn attention to the role of sleep in the pathogenesis of JIA. Sleep disturbances in children and adolescents with JIA arise from a wide range of symptoms and pathways, leading to a vicious cycle that exacerbates subclinical inflammation, symptoms and disease progression. Putative factors contributing to sleep disturbances include chronic inflammation, JIA-associated sleep disorders, JIA symptoms (e.g. pain), psychological comorbidities and potential circadian disruption, which may be exacerbated by the transition to adolescence. Here, we review these pathways and advocate key strategies and alternatives for sleep management in young people with JIA in clinical settings. We identify gaps in knowledge and suggest future directions to improve our understanding of JIA sleep disorders, including clinical trials investigating potential strategies to improve sleep health in this young population.

Abstract
Introduction Chronic pain is highly prevalent in US military Veterans. Non-opioid and non-pharmacologic treatments are recommended when clinically appropriate, but research on the mechanisms underlying benefits of these treatments is lacking. Here, we examined the role of sleep in the effects of three non-pharmacologic pain treatments in Veterans. Specifically, we investigated whether treatment effects on sleep predicted treatment effects on pain occurring later, or vice versa. Methods Veterans enrolled in a randomized controlled trial were invited to participate in this supplementary sleep study. A total of 174 Veterans were randomized to one of three 8-session, in-person, group-based pain treatments: hypnosis, mindfulness meditation, or education control. Measurements included self-reported sleep disturbance, pain intensity, and pain catastrophizing; sleep duration was assessed with actigraphy. Sleep and pain measurements were obtained at baseline, posttreatment, and 3-month posttreatment follow-up. Results At baseline, average pain intensity was moderate (mean ± SD: 5.7 ± 1.7 on the 0-10 Numeric Rating Scale), pain catastrophizing was just below the clinically relevant threshold (mean ± SD: 28.6 ± 12.2 on the Pain Catastrophizing Scale), and subjective sleep disturbance exceeded the US population average (mean ± SD: 58.5 ± 8.1 on the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Sleep Disturbance - Short Form). By contrast, objective sleep duration was consistent with the recommended daily sleep amount of 7-8 h for adults (mean ± SD: 8.3 ± 1.4 h). Across treatment conditions, pain intensity, pain catastrophizing, and subjective sleep disturbance were significantly less at posttreatment and 3-month follow-up than at baseline (p < 0.001). Actigraphic sleep duration did not differ significantly as a function of time. There was a high degree of covariation among the measures of pain intensity, pain catastrophizing, and sleep disturbance (p < 0.05). However, self-reported sleep disturbance was not significantly correlated with actigraphic sleep duration (|r| <= 0.13, p > 0.05). Sleep and pain variables observed at prior assessments predicted these same variables at subsequent assessments. There was no significant evidence that changes in pain preceded changes in sleep or that changes in sleep preceded changes in pain (all p > 0.05). Discussion For this study's Veterans, treatment-related changes in sleep and pain appeared to occur in parallel. The concomitant changes in sleep and pain suggest that therapies improving pain in Veterans may yield attendant benefits for the treatment of sleep, and possibly vice versa.

Abstract
This review encompasses the clinical features and relevance to investigate sleep in women with dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is a prevalent gynecologic dysfunction that affects the social and professional lives of women. It can occur at every menstrual cycle, depending on the cause and psychologic factors. Studies have reported poor sleep and insomnia symptoms in dysmenorrhea condition, which may intensify the dysmenorrhea manifestation and interfere negatively to its treatment. There is an urgent need to identify the main cause of this dysfunction and provide efficient treatments to minimize the detrimental effects of dysmenorrhea in quality of life of these women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Central sensitization (CS) and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) are both associated with insomnia. Therefore, the authors aimed to investigate whether insomnia was associated with more symptoms of CS in patients with TMD. METHODS In 82 volunteers with TMD, insomnia was clinically assessed, allowing sample stratification according to its presence. The Central Sensitization Inventory questionnaire was self-applied to assess the clinical symptoms of CS. RESULTS Participants with insomnia had significantly higher mean (SD) scores of CS according to the Central Sensitization Inventory than participants without insomnia (43.10 [12.57] vs 26.59 [13.66]; P = < .001). CONCLUSIONS Insomnia was associated with higher scores of CS symptoms in patients with TMD. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS Insomnia influences TMD as well as its relationship with CS, and, therefore, it is critical to the clinical management of TMD.

Abstract
Antarctic expeditions include isolation and exposure to cold and extreme photoperiods (with continuous natural light during summer) that may influence psychophysiological responses modulated by luminosity and sleep. We assessed changes in night sleep patterns by actigraphy, salivary biomarkers, and perceptual variables in seven participants in the following time points along a 50-day camping expedition in Antarctica (Nelson Island): Pre-Field (i.e., on the ship before camp), Field-1, Field-2, Field-3, Field-4 (from 1st to 10th, 11th to 20th, 21st to 35th and 36th to 50th days in camp, respectively), and Post-Field (on the ship after camp). We also characterized mood states, daytime sleepiness, and sleep quality by questionnaires. Staying in an Antarctic camp reduced sleep efficiency (5.2%) and increased the number of awakenings and wakefulness after sleep onset (51.8% and 67.1%, respectively). Furthermore, transient increases in time in bed (16.5%) and sleep onset latency (4.8 ± 4.0 min, from Pre- to Field-3) was observed. These changes were accompanied by an altered pattern of the emerging circadian marker β-Arrestin-1 and a trend to reduce nocturnal melatonin [57.1%; P = 0.066, with large effect size (ES) from Pre-Field to Field-2 (ES = 1.2) and Field-3 (ES = 1.2)]. All changes returned to Pre-Field values during the Post-Field. The volunteers reported sleep-related physical complaints (feeling of cold and pain, discomfort to breathe, and cough or loud snoring), excessive daytime sleepiness, and reduced vigor during the camp. Thus, a 50-day camp alters neuroendocrine regulation and induces physical discomfort, which may explain the impaired sleep pattern and the consequent daytime sleepiness and mood changes.

Abstract
Sleep is an under-evaluated symptom when assessing patients with cutaneous disease. Consequently, the relationship between sleep deprivation and disease burden is often not considered. The focus of our review article is to explore the bidirectional relationship between sleep and cutaneous disease investigating the disruption in circadian rhythmicity and skin homeostasis. Management strategies should focus on optimizing disease control coupled with improving sleep hygiene.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a bidirectional link between sleep and migraine, however causality is difficult to determine. This study aimed to investigate this relationship using data collected from a smartphone application. METHODS Self-reported data from 11,166 global users (aged 18-81 years, mean: 41.21, standard deviation: 11.49) were collected from the Migraine Buddy application (Healint Pte. Ltd.). Measures included: start and end times of sleep and migraine attacks, and pain intensity. Bayesian regression models were used to predict occurrence of a migraine attack the next day based on users' deviations from average sleep, number of sleep interruptions, and hours slept the night before in those reporting ≥ 8 and < 25 migraine attacks on average per month. Conversely, we modelled whether attack occurrence and pain intensity predicted hours slept that night. RESULTS There were 724 users (129 males, 412 females, 183 unknown, mean age = 41.88 years, SD = 11.63), with a mean monthly attack frequency of 9.94. More sleep interruptions (95% Highest Density Interval (95%HDI [0.11 - 0.21]) and deviation from a user's mean sleep (95%HDI [0.04 - 0.08]) were significant predictors of a next day attack. Total hours slept was not a significant predictor (95%HDI [-0.04 - 0.04]). Pain intensity, but not attack occurrence was a positive predictor of hours slept. CONCLUSIONS Sleep fragmentation and deviation from typical sleep are the main drivers of the relationship between sleep and migraine. Having a migraine attack does not predict sleep duration, yet the pain associated with it does. This study highlights sleep as crucial in migraine management.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of resistance training (RT) on the sleep quality of patients with fibromyalgia (FM), through a systematic review. The search was carried out in the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Initially, 148 studies were found, of which six were included for qualitative analysis. Four studies showed significant improvement in sleep after RT. Compared to other exercise modalities, RT proved to be superior to flexibility training and equivalent to aerobic exercise. Interventions lasted from 4 to 21 weeks, the weekly frequency ranged from two to three times, and the intensity ranged from 40% to 80% 1RM, with exercises for the major muscle groups. RT is an intervention that can be used to treat FM, however, more studies are needed to verify its effectiveness in improving sleep.

Abstract
Sleep has a homeostatic role in the regulation of the immune system and serves to constrain activation of inflammatory signalling and expression of cellular inflammation. In patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a misaligned inflammatory profile induces a dysregulation of sleep-wake activity, which leads to excessive inflammation and the induction of increased sensitivity to pain. Given that multiple biological mechanisms contribute to sleep disturbances (such as insomnia), and that the central nervous system communicates with the innate immune system via neuroendocrine and neural effector pathways, potential exists to develop prevention opportunities to mitigate the risk of insomnia in RA. Furthermore, understanding these risk mechanisms might inform additional insomnia treatment strategies directed towards steering and reducing the magnitude of the inflammatory response, which together could influence outcomes of pain and disease activity in RA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Musculoskeletal pain is the most common form of chronic pain. Anxiety increases pain intensity and appears to have a major impact on the prevalence and also disability of musculoskeletal pain in women. We examined the effect of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on anxiety-like behaviors associated with musculoskeletal pain and the underlying molecular mechanism in female mice. METHODS Musculoskeletal pain was induced by injection of acidified saline into the gastrocnemius muscle in adult female mice, and the von Frey filament test is used to measure mechanical sensitivity. DEX and EX527 (SIRT1 inhibitor) were administered after modelling. Behavioral tests were used for anxiety and motor activity tests. SIRT1, p53 and acetyl-p53 were quantified by Western blot. RESULTS Adult female mice with musculoskeletal pain exhibit increased fear-like behavior by reducing SIRT1 expression in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). While administration of DEX was able to alleviate mechanical hypersensitivity and anxiety-like behaviors by blocking SIRT1 decline and acetyl-p53 upregulation in mPFC, EX527 inhibited acetyl-p53 rise and reversed the antinociceptive and anxiolytic effects of DEX. CONCLUSION DEX may alleviate anxiety-like behaviors in mice with musculoskeletal pain via the SIRT1/p53 axis. These results suggest that DEX may have a potential therapeutic role in musculoskeletal pain-induced anxiety.

Abstract
Smartphones have become an integral part of people's everyday lives. Smartphones are used across all household locations, including in the bed at night. Smartphone screens and other displays emit blue light, and exposure to blue light can affect one's sleep quality. Thus, smartphone use prior to bedtime could disrupt the quality of one's sleep, but research lacks quantitative studies on how smartphone use can influence sleep. This study combines smartphone application use data from 75 participants with sleep data collected by a wearable ring. On average, the participants used their smartphones in bed for 322.8 s (5 min and 22.8 s), with an IQR of 43.7-456. Participants spent an average of 42% of their time in bed using their smartphones (IQR of 5.87-55.5%). Our findings indicate that smartphone use in bed has significant adverse effects on sleep latency, awake time, average heart rate, and HR variability. We also find that smartphone use does not decrease sleep quality when used outside of bed. Our results indicate that intense smartphone use alone does not negatively affect well-being. Since all smartphone users do not use their phones in the same way, extending the investigation to different smartphone use types might yield more information than general smartphone use. In conclusion, this paper presents the first investigation of the association between smartphone application use logs and detailed sleep metrics. Our work also validates previous research results and highlights emerging future work.

Abstract
Chronic pain and insomnia are highly comorbid: Approximately 50% of those with chronic pain experience insomnia or clinically significant sleep disturbances, and 50% of those with insomnia experience chronic pain. Further, these conditions can be extremely disabling, particularly when they co-occur. There is increasing recognition of the need to tackle both chronic pain and insomnia together, as evidenced by growing empirical research in this area. Cognitive processing biases have been independently implicated in both chronic pain and in insomnia. Given their trans-diagnostic status, cognitive biases may therefore have a role in explaining the co-occurrence and mutual maintenance of these conditions. These biases also represent novel, potentially modifiable targets for treatment. However, the role of cognitive biases has not been adequately explored in comorbid chronic pain and insomnia. Here, we describe the state of cognitive bias research in chronic pain and insomnia, considering evidence for the roles of attentional bias, interpretation bias, expectancy bias, and memory bias. In reviewing the literature, it is apparent that similar cognitive biases operate in insomnia and chronic pain, with preliminary, albeit sparse, evidence of pain-related cognitive biases influencing sleep-related outcomes. On the basis of current findings and separate theoretical models, we present a novel, testable cognitive model of comorbid chronic pain and insomnia, to guide future research in this area. Key recommendations for the future of this relatively new field are provided. PERSPECTIVE: Chronic pain and insomnia are highly co-morbid, suggesting an overlap in causal mechanisms. Empirical research, although sparse, suggests that cognitive biases may play a role in their development and mutual maintenance. Our novel cognitive model generates research avenues of clinical importance for treating co-morbid chronic pain and insomnia.

Abstract
Reciprocal relationships between chronic musculoskeletal pain and various sleep disturbances are well established. The Pain and Sleep Questionnaire three-item index (PSQ-3) is a concise, valid, and reliable patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) that directly evaluates how sleep is affected by chronic low back pain (CLBP). Translation and cross-cultural validation of The Pain and Sleep Questionnaire three-item index Finnish version (PSQ-3-FI) were conducted according to established guidelines. The validation sample was 229 subjects, including 42 pain-free controls and 187 subjects with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Our aims were to evaluate internal consistency, test-retest reliability, measurement error, structural validity, convergent validity, and discriminative validity and, furthermore, to study the relationships between dizziness, postural control on a force plate, and objective sleep quality metrics and total PSQ-3-FI score. The PSQ-3-FI demonstrated good internal consistency, excellent test-retest reliability, and small measurement error. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed acceptable fit indices to a one-factor model. Convergent validity indicated fair to good correlation with pain history and well-established pain-related PROMs. The PSQ-3-FI total score successfully distinguished between the groups with no pain, single-site pain, and multisite pain. A higher prevalence of dizziness, more impaired postural control, and a general trend towards poorer sleep quality were observed among subjects with higher PSQ-3-FI scores. Postural control instability was more evident in eyes-open tests. The Finnish PSQ-3 translation was successfully cross-culturally adapted and validated. The PSQ-3-FI appears to be a valid and reliable PROM for the Finnish-speaking CLBP population. More widespread implementation of PSQ-3 would lead to better understanding of the direct effects of pain on sleep.

The Association between Sleep and Chronic Spinal Pain: A Systematic Review from the Last Decade. J Clin Med 2021; 10:3836.

Abstract
Chronic spinal pain, including both neck and low back pain, is a common disabling disorder in which sleep problems are frequently reported as a comorbidity. The complex processes of both sleep and chronic pain seem to have overlapping mechanisms, which may explain their often established bidirectional relationship. This systematic review aims to investigate the assumed association between sleep and chronic spinal pain by providing an overview of the literature from the last decade. Eligible studies were obtained by searching four databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and PsycARTICLES). Articles were found relevant if they included a human adult population and investigated the possible association between sleep parameters and chronic spinal pain. Only studies published after January 2009 were included, as this review aimed to provide an update of a previous literature overview on this topic. The quality of the studies was assessed by risk of bias and level of evidence. A total of twenty-seven studies (6 cohort, 5 case-control, and 16 cross-sectional studies) were included in this systematic review. The methodological quality of these studies was low to moderate. The majority of studies reported weak to moderate evidence for an association between sleep parameters and chronic spinal pain, with more severe pain accompanied by more disturbed sleep. Addressing frequently reported sleep problems in chronic spinal pain patients therefore appears to be a necessary complement to pain management to achieve optimal treatment outcomes.

Sleep disturbances, fatigue and psychological health in women with endometriosis: a matched pair case-control study. Reprod Biomed Online 2021; 43:1027-1034. [PMID: 34756643 DOI: 10.1016/j.rbmo.2021.08.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2021] [Revised: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
RESEARCH QUESTION What are the associations between endometriosis, pelvic pain symptoms, fatigue and sleep? Psychological health and quality of life in endometriosis patients with good versus bad quality of sleep were also examined. DESIGN This matched pair case-control study included 123 consecutive endometriosis patients and 123 women without a history of endometriosis (matched to patients for age and body mass index). Endometriosis-related pelvic pain severity was rated on a 0-10 numerical rating scale. Fatigue was measured on a 1-5 Likert scale. Women also completed a set of self-report questionnaires for assessing sleep disturbances (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Insomnia Severity Index), psychological health (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) and quality of life (Short Form-12). RESULTS Painful endometriosis had an impact on fatigue (P = 0.006; η2p = 0.041) and sleep (P < 0.001; η2p = 0.051). Women with painful endometriosis reported significantly greater fatigue, poorer quality of sleep, higher daytime sleepiness and more severe insomnia than women without significant pain symptoms and controls. Poorer quality of sleep among endometriosis patients was associated with greater fatigue (P < 0.001; η2p = 0.130), poorer psychological health (P < 0.001; η2p = 0.135), and lower quality of life (P < 0.001; η2p = 0.240). CONCLUSIONS Pelvic pain (rather than endometriosis in itself) is associated with fatigue and sleep disturbances, with poor sleep having a detrimental impact on women's psychological health and quality of life.

Abstract
Most previous studies investigating sleep's association with health outcomes have relied on averaged sleep quality and laboratory-based health measures. This study examines the dynamic within-person relationships between subjective (Ecological Momentary Assessment) and objective sleep (actigraphy) on next-day cognition (subjective and objective), mood, and engagement in daily activities using linear mixed-effects regression modeling. Participants included 94 individuals (59 people with HIV, 35 HIV-) aged 50-74, assessed daily for 14 consecutive days/nights. Subjective and objective sleep were well correlated and were both associated with subjective ratings of cognition, but not objective cognition. Worse subjective sleep was associated with next-day lower happiness and higher depressed mood, and more pain, but was not related to next-day daily activities. Objective sleep was associated with next-day depressed mood and feelings of worry, and was positively associated with next-day television watching. Results provide evidence to support the utility of real-time assessment for sleep and functional outcomes that may lead to potential personalized interventions for individuals with and without HIV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The incidence of chronic postoperative pain after total knee replacement (TKR) is approx. 20%, and hence preoperative risk factors are important to identify. Recent studies have indicated that preoperative inflammatory markers might hold prognostic information for the development of chronic postoperative pain. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) regulates the expression of genes related to e.g. inflammatory processes. The current study aimed to investigate the preoperative lncRNA signature as possible preoperative predictive markers for chronic postoperative pain following TKR. METHODS Serum samples, collected preoperatively from 20 knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients, were analyzed for 84 validated circulatory lncRNA. Pain intensity was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) before and one-year after TKR. Differences for the lncRNA expression were analyzed between patients with chronic postoperative pain (VAS≥3) and those with a normal postoperative recovery (VAS<3). RESULTS LncRNA Myeloid Zinc Finger 1 Antisense RNA 1 (MZF1-AS1) (fold change -3.99; p-value: 0.038) (shown to be involved neuropathic pain) Metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) (fold change -3.39; p-value: 0.044) (shown to be involved neuropathic pain); Patched 1 pseudogene (LOC100287846) (fold change -6.99; p-value: 0.029) (unknown in pain) were down-regulated preoperatively in the group with chronic postoperative pain compared to the group normal postoperative pain recovery. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest, that TKR patients with chronic postoperative pain present preoperative downregulations of three specific lncRNA detectable at the systemic level. The presented study might give new insights into the complexity of chronic postoperative pain development and show how non-coding RNA plays a role in the underlying molecular mechanisms of pain.

Abstract
Current pharmacological treatments for insomnia carry several and long-term side effects. Therefore, natural products without side effects are warranted. In this study, the sleep-promoting activity of the lotus leaf (Nelumbo nucifera) extract was assessed using ICR mice and Sprague Dawley rats. A pentobarbital-induced sleep test and electroencephalogram analysis were conducted to measure sleep latency time, duration, and sleep architecture. The action mechanism of the extract was evaluated through ligand binding experiments. A high dose (300 mg/kg) of the ethanolic lotus leaf extract significantly increased sleep duration compared to the normal group (p < 0.01). Administration of low (150 mg/kg) and high doses (300 mg/kg) of the extract significantly increased sleep quality, especially the relative power of theta waves (p < 0.05), compared to the normal group. Furthermore, caffeine and lotus leaf extract administration significantly recovered caffeine-induced sleep disruption (p < 0.001), and the sleep quality was similar to that of the normal group. Additionally, ligand binding assay using [3H]-flumazenil revealed that quercetin-3-O-glucuronide contained in the lotus leaf extract (77.27 μg/mg of extract) enhanced sleep by binding to GABAA receptors. Collectively, these results indicated that the lotus leaf extract, particularly quercetin-3-O-glucuronide, exhibits sleep quantity- and quality-enhancing activity via the GABAergic pathway.

Abstract
Migraine is considered to be a neurovascular disease that manifests as a throbbing headache, possibly caused by the activation of the trigeminovascular system. Several studies have supported the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of migraine. Chronic periodontitis (CP) is an infectious inflammatory disease triggered by bacterial products evoking an immune response which could result in the destruction of the periodontium. However, little is known about the longitudinal association between CP and migraine. In this study, we designed a nationwide population-based cohort study to investigate the risk of migraine and CP exposure in Taiwan. In total, 68,282 patients with CP were identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD), and 68,282 comparisons were randomly captured and matched by age, sex, monthly income, urbanization and comorbidities. The association between CP exposure and migraine risk was evaluated by Cox proportional hazards regression models. In this study, 785 migraine patients were identified in the CP cohort, and 641 migraine cases were found in the non-CP cohort. The incidence rate of migraine was significantly higher in the CP cohort than the non-CP cohort (adjusted HR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.09–1.34, p < 0.001) during the 13-year follow-up period. Females had a 2.69-fold higher risk for migraine than males (95% CI: 2.38–3.04, p < 0.001). In summary, CP is associated with an increased risk of subsequent migraine in Taiwan.

Abstract
Objectives: To test whether older adults' pain was bidirectionally associated with nighttime sleep disturbances and whether daily positive encounters attenuated these associations. Methods: Participants (N = 292, mean = 73.71 years old) from the Daily Experiences and Well-being Study indicated pain and positive encounters with close partners (e.g., family and friends) and nonclose partners (e.g., acquaintances and service providers) every 3 hours throughout each day across 4-6 days. They also reported nighttime sleep disturbances the following morning. Results: Multilevel models revealed that participants with more prior nighttime sleep disturbances reported more severe pain the next day. This link was attenuated on days when participants had a greater proportion of positive encounters or viewed encounters as more pleasant, especially when these encounters occurred with close partners. Discussion: This study identifies benefits of positive encounters to older adults and sheds light on ways that may alleviate their pain from a social perspective.

Abstract
Poor sleep in the postpartum is often treated as an unavoidable consequence of childbirth. This study aims to compare objective and subjective measures of sleep, explore the relationship between sleep and postpartum weight retention (PPWR), and investigate factors that may contribute to sleep quality in the postpartum period. In this cross-sectional cohort, PPWR, sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)), and objective sleep and physical activity (accelerometry) were assessed in 109 women 0–52 weeks postpartum. Anthropometric and demographic data were collected. Gestational weight gain (GWG) was classified as inadequate, appropriate, or excessive according to Institute of Medicine guidelines. Average GWG (33.7 lbs) and PPWR (5.39 lbs) were not different between “good” (PSQI < 6) and “bad” (PSQI ≥ 6) sleepers. Following adjustment, mothers with excessive GWG who were “bad” sleepers had 5.26 higher odds of PPWR ≥ 10 lbs compared with all other combinations of GWG and PSQI. PSQI was not correlated with total sleep time (accelerometer-derived). Light activity and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were associated with reduced odds of being a “bad” sleeper. The influence of GWG on PPWR was modified by postpartum sleep quality. Both light activity and meeting the MVPA guidelines in the postpartum were associated with higher sleep quality. Novelty Subjectively rated poor sleep may represent the number of awakenings and wake after sleep onset in postpartum women. Poor postpartum sleep quality increases excessive postpartum weight retention in women with excessive GWG. Women doing light-to-vigorous physical activity in the postpartum are less likely to experience poor sleep quality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND The current study describes insomnia precipitating events reported by women Veterans and examines differences in sleep and psychological distress variables in those who endorsed traumatic, nontraumatic, or no insomnia precipitating events. PARTICIPANTS Baseline data were collected from 347 women Veterans enrolled in a behavioral sleep intervention study (NCT02076165). METHODS Participants completed self-report measures of insomnia symptoms, sleep quality, sleep efficiency (SE), nightmare frequency, and depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms; SE was also assessed by wrist actigraphy. Participants responded to 2 open-ended questions assessing stressful life events and health changes that coincided with insomnia symptom onset. Responses were coded as traumatic, nontraumatic, and no events. Analyses of covariance examined the effect of insomnia precipitating event type on sleep and psychological symptom variables after controlling for sociodemographic factors. RESULTS Overall, 25.80% of participants endorsed traumatic events, 65.80% endorsed only nontraumatic events, and 8.41% endorsed no events. Participants who endorsed traumatic events reported more severe insomnia (p = .003), PTSD (p = .001), and depression symptoms (p = .012), and poorer quality of sleep (p = .042) than participants who endorsed no events. Participants who endorsed traumatic events reported more severe PTSD symptoms (p = .004), a longer duration of sleep problems (p = .001), and poorer quality of sleep (p = .039) than participants who endorsed nontraumatic events. Participants who endorsed nontraumatic events reported more severe insomnia (p = .029) and PTSD (p = .049) symptoms than participants who endorsed no events. CONCLUSIONS Trauma as a precipitant for insomnia may be related to higher symptom severity in women Veterans. Implications for treatment engagement and effectiveness remain unstudied.

Abstract
The SN/S and LBP risk was higher in the PL than in the GL group. Four positive predictors (life satisfaction, hours of sleep, exercise habits, physical fitness) are important factors. Health staff should advise on workers’ individual lifestyle.
This longitudinal study was conducted from 2002 to 2018 and aimed to investigate predictive lifestyle factors for the occurrence of subjective musculoskeletal symptoms. The participants came from several employers in Japan. Setting 2002 as the baseline, we performed logistic regression analyses using lifestyle questionnaire items as explanatory variables and Stiff neck/shoulders (SN/S) and Lower back pain (LBP) as objective variables (n = 16,748). Workers who responded positively to good lifestyle items with an odds ratio < 1.0 and those who did not were classified in the Good (GL) and Poor lifestyle groups (PL), respectively. The survival period between the groups was compared using the log-rank test and Cox hazard regression analysis with propensity score matching (n = 3,593). Based on the Cox hazard regression analysis results, the risk of SN/S was about 2.54 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.80–3.59) times higher for PL than for GL (p < 0.001). Similarly, after propensity score matching, the risk was about 2.33 (95% CI: 1.07–5.10) times higher for PL than for GL (p < 0.05). Further, LBP risk was about 2.45 (95% CI: 1.67–3.58) times higher for PL than for GL (p < 0.001). Similarly, after propensity score matching, the risk was about 3.50 (95% CI: 1.60–7.68) times higher for PL than for GL (p < 0.01). This study highlighted that workers with four good lifestyle factors (life satisfaction, hours of sleep, exercise habits, and physical fitness) presented reduced risk of subjective musculoskeletal symptom occurrence. To prevent musculoskeletal symptoms, physicians and occupational health staff should advise on workers’ individual lifestyle.

Abstract
An increased incidence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) among patients with sleep apnea (SA) has been reported. However, the association between TMD and SA has not been demonstrated in a large-scale study. This population-based cohort study with the Taiwan National Health Insurance (NHI) Research Database aimed to understand the association between SA and TMD. We identified adult patients with suspected SA (identified with diagnostic codes) and excluded those diagnosed with TMD prior to SA. Patients with SA diagnosis after polysomnography were also identified as probable SA patients. The index dates were the dates of their initial SA diagnosis. Ten control subjects were matched, by age and sex, to each SA patient, and were assigned the same index dates as the SA patients. In total, 10,408 suspected SA patients (including 4105 probable SA patients) matched to 104,080 control subjects (including 41,050 subjects matched to the probable SA patients) in this study. The TMD incidence rate was significantly higher in the SA patients than in the control subjects (2.8 vs. 1.0 per thousand-patient-year in probable SA patients vs. the corresponding control subjects, with an adjusted incidence rate ratio [95% confidence interval] = 2.5 [2.3–2.7], p < 0.0001). SA patients significantly showed a higher cumulative incidence of TMD than the corresponding control subjects (p < 0.0001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed SA as an independent risk factor for the development of TMD (adjusted hazard ratio = 2.5 [1.7–3.7], p < 0.0001). In summary, this study confirmed an increased TMD incidence in the SA patients. While treating TMD patients, dentists should pay careful attention to the potential underlying SA.

[PMID: 32556918 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-020-02123-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2020] [Revised: 04/30/2020] [Accepted: 06/05/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and clinical correlates of impaired sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness among patients receiving methadone for opioid use disorder (OUD). METHODS Patients receiving methadone (n = 164) completed surveys assessing sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI]), daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ESS]), and related comorbidities. We used bivariate and multivariable linear regression models to evaluate correlates of sleep quality and daytime sleepiness. RESULTS Ninety percent of patients had poor sleep quality (PSQI >5), and the mean PSQI was high (11.0 ±4). Forty-six percent reported excessive daytime sleepiness (ESS > 10). In multivariable analyses, higher PSQI (worse sleep quality) was significantly associated with pain interference (coefficient = 0.40; 95% CI = 0.18-0.62; β = 0.31), somatization (coefficient = 2.2; 95% CI = 0.75-3.6; β = 0.26), and negatively associated with employment (coefficient = - 2.6; 95% CI = - 4.9 to - 0.19; β = - 0.17). Greater sleepiness was significantly associated with body mass index (coefficient = 0.32; 95% CI = 0.18-0.46; β = 0.33), and there was a non-significant association between sleepiness and current chronic pain (coefficient = 1.6; 95% CI = 0.26-3.5; β = 0.13; p value = 0.09). CONCLUSIONS Poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness are common in patients receiving methadone for OUD. Chronic pain, somatization, employment status, and obesity are potentially modifiable risk factors for sleep problems for individuals maintained on methadone. People with OUD receiving methadone should be routinely and promptly evaluated and treated for sleep disorders.

Mental health, physical health, and health-related behaviors of U.S. Army Special Forces. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0233560. [PMID: 32492027 PMCID: PMC7269253 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0233560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2019] [Accepted: 05/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives To prospectively examine the health and health-related behaviors of Army Special Forces personnel in comparison with two distinct, but functionally similar Army groups. Methods Special Forces, Ranger Qualified, and General Purposes Forces enrolled in the Millennium Cohort Study were identified using data from the Defense Manpower Data Center. Using prospective survey data (2001–2014), we estimated the association of Army specialization with mental health, social support, physical health, and health-related behaviors with multivariable regression models. Results Among the 5,392 eligible participants (84.4% General Purposes Forces, 10.0% Special Forces, 5.6% Ranger Qualified), Special Forces personnel reported the lowest prevalence of mental disorders, physical health problems, and unhealthy behaviors. In the multivariable models, Special Forces personnel were less likely to report mental health problems, multiple somatic symptoms, and unhealthy behaviors compared with General Purpose Forces infantrymen (odds ratios [OR]: 0.20–0.54, p-values < .01). Overall, Special Forces personnel were similar in terms of mental and physical health compared with Ranger Qualified infantrymen, but were less likely to sleep < 5 hours/night (OR: 0.60, 95% confidence intervals: 0.40, 0.92) and have 5 or more multiple somatic symptoms (OR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.49, 0.98). Both Special Forces personnel and Ranger Qualified infantrymen engaged in more healthy behaviors compared with General Purpose Forces infantrymen (OR: 2.57–6.22, p-values<0.05). Engagement in more healthy behaviors reduced the odds of subsequent adverse health outcomes, regardless of specialization. Conclusions Army Special Forces personnel were found to be mentally and physically healthier than General Purpose Forces infantrymen, which may in part be due to their tendency to engage in healthy behaviors. Findings indicate that engagement in a greater number of healthy behaviors may reduce odds for subsequent adverse outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose Mobile health solutions are finding their way into health systems. The Kaia app has been shown to be able to reduce back pain in two studies. Since pain often comes along with disturbed sleep and both symptoms are strongly related we investigated whether the Kaia app training is associated with improved sleep quality. Methods User data of individuals with back pain were collected in two app versions (cohort 1: N = 180; cohort 2: N = 159). We analyzed the ratings of sleep quality and pain intensity on a 11-point numeric ratings scale (NRS; 0–10) both at the beginning of usage (baseline: BL) and on the individual last day of usage (follow-up: LU) within a 3-month training program. Results In both cohorts, we found a significant reduction in pain intensity from BL to LU (cohort 1: MBL = 4.80; SD = 1.59 to MLU = 3.75; SD = 1.76, Δpain = –1.04; SD = 2.12; t(158) = 6.207; p<.001/cohort 2: MBL = 4.20; SD = 1.98 to MLU = 3.65; SD = 1.78; Δpain = –0.50; SD = 2.04; t(147) = 3.001; p = 0.003) and a significant improvement of sleep quality (cohort 1: MBL = 5.76; SD = 2.12 to MLU = 6.56; SD = 1.72; Δsleep = t(158) = 4.310; p < 0.001/cohort 2: MBL = 6.08; SD = 2.08 to MLU = 6.76; SD = 1.55; Δsleep = 0.67; SD = 2.13; sleep: t(147) = 3.825; p < 0.001). Interestingly, improvement of sleep quality was not fully mediated by pain reduction. Conclusion Our analysis underlines the relationship between pain and sleep in the clinical context. Improvement of sleep quality came along with pain reduction and vice versa. Further study should explain the exact mechanisms of action which are associated with the improvement of both symptom parameters.

Linking Nonrestorative Sleep and Activity Interference Through Pain Catastrophizing and Pain Severity: An Intraday Process Model Among Individuals With Fibromyalgia. THE JOURNAL OF PAIN 2020; 21:546-556. [PMID: 31526852 PMCID: PMC7069767 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpain.2019.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2019] [Revised: 07/12/2019] [Accepted: 09/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Nonrestorative sleep is a key diagnostic feature of the musculoskeletal pain disorder fibromyalgia and is robustly associated with poor physical functioning, including activity interference. However, the mechanisms through which nonrestorative sleep elicits activity interference among individuals with fibromyalgia at the within-person level remain unclear. The present study tested the following 3-path mediation model, using data gathered from a 21-day electronic daily diary in 220 individuals with fibromyalgia: previous night nonrestorative sleep → morning pain catastrophizing → afternoon pain severity → end-of-day activity interference. Results of multilevel structural equation modeling supported the 3-path mediation model. Previous night's nonrestorative sleep and morning pain catastrophizing were also directly related to end-of-day activity interference. Previous night nonrestorative sleep did not significantly predict afternoon pain severity while controlling for the effect of morning pain catastrophizing. Greater nonrestorative sleep during the previous night and a higher level of morning pain catastrophizing appear to serve as risk factors for experiencing greater daily pain and activity interference later in the day. These findings point to the potential utility of targeted interventions that improve both sleep quality and pain catastrophizing to help individuals with chronic pain engage in important daily activities despite experiencing pain. PERSPECTIVE: This study provides a better understanding of how nonrestorative sleep is associated with daily activity interference among individuals with fibromyalgia. An intervention that targets attenuating nonrestorative sleep and pain catastrophizing may help improve daily physical functioning of this population.

Abstract
Background Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a rheumatic disease characterized by diffuse body pain and decreased muscle function. The aim of the present study was to compare the biological rhythms of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome with the biological rhythms of healthy controls. Material/Methods This was a cross-sectional, single blind, and single center case-control study. The patients with fibromyalgia were evaluated using a Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Biological Rhythms Interview of Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (BRIAN) Scale, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results The study included 77 female patients with FMS, and 32 healthy female individuals as the control group. We found that the patients in the FMS group achieved higher scores in VAS, BDI, PSQI, and the BRIAN scale than the patients in the control group (P<0.001). An evaluation of the relationship between FMS evaluation parameters and biological rhythm scores in patients with FMS revealed a significant positive correlation between total BRAIN and VAS, FIQ, BDI, and PSQI scores. When the relationship between FMS evaluation parameters and biological rhythm scores was evaluated in patients with FMS, a significant positive correlation was found between total BRAIN and VAS, FIQ, BDI, and PSQI scores (r=0.555, P<0.001; r=0.461, P<0.001; r=0.630, P<0.001; and r=0.551, P<0.001 respectively). Conclusions We consider that an evaluation of the biological rhythm of female patients with FMS, and appropriate treatment when required, would contribute significantly to the treatment and follow-up process of the patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the pain intensity and pain self-efficacy interaction in workers' work functioning impairment. METHODS A cross-sectional study using a self-reporting survey. Of 6657 Japanese construction company employees, 5129 (77.0%) valid responses were analyzed for work functioning impairment. Further analysis using current pain intensity and pain self-efficacy was performed on 1622 employees who experienced physical pain in the past 12 months. RESULTS Pain intensity showed a dose-response relationship with work functioning impairment. Further analysis showed an interaction between pain intensity and pain self-efficacy for work functioning impairment. Stratification by pain self-efficacy showed that high pain self-efficacy was not associated with an increase in work functioning impairment, even in those with severe pain (odds ratio = 1.79; 95% confidence interval = 0.69 to 4.68). CONCLUSIONS Pain self-efficacy may be a key determinant for work functioning impairment in workers with pain.

Abstract
Background Sleep ergonomics are increasingly prescribed as an adjunct treatment to chronic neck pain. Postulated benefits to maintaining the ideal sleeping posture are improved tissue repair in and around the facet joints, decrease in tension of associated musculature and better quality sleep. Aim The purpose of this study was to determine if the inclusion of a visco-elastic polyurethane (VEP) pillow could benefit the chiropractic treatment of chronic neck pain. Setting The study took place at a chiropractic training clinic in Johannesburg. Method Participants were randomly assigned to either a chiropractic treatment only group (CHI) (n = 15) or a chiropractic treatment with a VEP pillow group (CHI+P) (n = 15). Both groups underwent six chiropractic treatments spaced at 3-4-day intervals and the CHI+P were provided with a VEP pillow. Baseline and post-test measurements consisted of the initial Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NRS) and the Vernon-Mior Neck Pain and Disability Index (NDI). Results Both the CHI and CHI+P groups significantly (p ≤ 0.05) improved their NRS (p = 0.001 for both groups) and NDI (p = 0.001 and p = 0.000, respectively) scores. Furthermore, post hoc analysis indicated a significant difference at post-test between the two groups for NRS (p = 0.015), but not for NDI (p = 0.195). The CHI+P demonstrated an improved minimum clinically important difference (MCID) (43% vs. 73% for NRS and 59% vs. 71% for the NDI). Conclusion Findings of this study suggest that a VEP pillow could be included as an adjunct management tool to chiropractic treatment of chronic neck pain.

Abstract
The development of alcohol use disorder (AUD) involves binge or heavy drinking to high levels of intoxication that leads to compulsive intake, the loss of control in limiting intake, and a negative emotional state when alcohol is removed. This cascade of events occurs over an extended period within a three-stage cycle: binge/intoxication, withdrawal/negative affect, and preoccupation/anticipation. These three heuristic stages map onto the dysregulation of functional domains of incentive salience/habits, negative emotional states, and executive function, mediated by the basal ganglia, extended amygdala, and frontal cortex, respectively. Sleep disturbances, alterations of sleep architecture, and the development of insomnia are ubiquitous in AUD and also map onto the three stages of the addiction cycle. During the binge/intoxication stage, alcohol intoxication leads to a faster sleep onset, but sleep quality is poor relative to nights when no alcohol is consumed. The reduction of sleep onset latency and increase in wakefulness later in the night may be related to the acute effects of alcohol on GABAergic systems that are associated with sleep regulation and the effects on brain incentive salience systems, such as dopamine. During the withdrawal/negative affect stage, there is a decrease in slow-wave sleep and some limited recovery in REM sleep when individuals with AUD stop drinking. Limited recovery of sleep disturbances is seen in AUD within the first 30 days of abstinence. The effects of withdrawal on sleep may be related to the loss of alcohol as a positive allosteric modulator of GABAA receptors, a decrease in dopamine function, and the overactivation of stress neuromodulators, including hypocretin/orexin, norepinephrine, corticotropin-releasing factor, and cytokines. During the preoccupation/anticipation stage, individuals with AUD who are abstinent long-term present persistent sleep disturbances, including a longer latency to fall asleep, more time awake during the night, a decrease in slow-wave sleep, decreases in delta electroencephalogram power and evoked delta activity, and an increase in REM sleep. Glutamatergic system dysregulation that is observed in AUD is a likely substrate for some of these persistent sleep disturbances. Sleep pathology contributes to AUD pathology, and vice versa, possibly as a feed-forward drive to an unrecognized allostatic load that drives the addiction process.

Abstract
Adults with sleep problems are at higher risk for onset of musculoskeletal pain, but the evidence is less clear for children. This prospective cohort study investigated whether children with sleep problems are at higher risk for onset of musculoskeletal pain and explored whether sex is a modifier of this association. In a prospective cohort study of Australian schoolchildren (n = 1239, mean age 9 years), the associations between sleep problems at baseline and new onset of both musculoskeletal pain and persistent musculoskeletal pain (pain lasting > 3 months) 1 year later were investigated using logistic regression. The potential modifying effect of sex was also assessed. One-year incidence proportion for musculoskeletal pain onset is 43% and 7% for persistent musculoskeletal pain. Sleep problems were associated with musculoskeletal pain onset and persistent musculoskeletal pain onset in boys, odds ratio 2.80 (95% CI 1.39, 5.62) and OR 3.70 (1.30, 10.54), respectively, but not girls OR 0.58 (0.28, 1.19) and OR 1.43 (0.41, 4.95), respectively.Conclusions: Rates of musculoskeletal pain are high in children. Boys with sleep problems are at greater risk of onset of musculoskeletal pain, but girls do not appear to have higher risk. Consideration of sleep health may help prevent persistent musculoskeletal pain in children. What is Known: • Sleep problems are associated with the onset of musculoskeletal pain in adults. • It is not clear if the association between sleep problems and the onset of musculoskeletal pain is present also in children and if sex plays a role in this association. What is New: • This is the first large population-based study that has prospectively investigated the relationship between sleep problems and onset of musculoskeletal pain in school-aged children. • Children, especially boys with sleep problems, were at increased risk for the development of persistent musculoskeletal pain.

Abstract
Chronic pain patients often suffer from insomnia or impaired sleep which has been associated with increased pain sensitivity, but a limited amount of studies have investigated the effects of total sleep deprivation on central pain mechanisms. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of total sleep deprivation on temporal summation, conditioned pain modulation, thermal and pressure pain sensitivity in healthy participants. Twenty-four healthy participants took part in this two-session trial. The measurements were conducted after a night of habitual sleep (baseline) and following 24 hours of total sleep deprivation. Detection thresholds for cold and warmth and pain thresholds for cold and heat were assessed. Cuff induced pressure pain detection and tolerance thresholds, temporal summation and conditioned pain modulation were assessed with user-independent, computer-controlled cuff algometry. Conditioned pain modulation was significantly impaired, temporal summation was significantly facilitated and pain sensitivity to pressure and cold pain were significantly increased at follow-up compared with baseline. In conclusion, this study found that one night of total sleep deprivation impaired descending pain pathways, facilitated spinal excitability and sensitized peripheral pathways to cold and pressure pain. Future studies are encouraged to investigate if sleep therapy might normalize pain sensitivity in sleep-deprived chronic pain patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Clinical insomnia is known to affect pain, but mechanisms are unclear. Insomnia can dysregulate inflammatory pathway, and inflammation plays a mediating role in pain. It is unclear whether insomnia-related alterations in inflammation can be modified with insomnia improvement, and if such alterations parallel improvement in pain. The current study objective was to provide proof of concept for the role of insomnia in inflammation and pain by testing whether improving insomnia would reduce pain and related physical function, and, concurrently, modulate inflammatory responses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty adults with osteoarthritis knee pain and insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index >10) provided baseline measures of osteoarthritis and laboratory pain, and serial blood samples for inflammatory biomarkers, interleukin 6, and tumor necrosis factor α, before and after pain testing. To manipulate insomnia, participants were randomly assigned to a 6-week cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (n=16); or wait-list control (n=14). At 8-weeks (time 2), all measures were repeated. To directly test insomnia improvement effects, participants were grouped by insomnia status at time 2 after confirming baseline equivalency on all outcomes. RESULTS Compared with those maintaining insomnia at time 2 (Insomnia Severity Index ≥8; n=18), those whose insomnia improved at time 2 (n=12) had significantly improved physical functioning, decline in knee pain during transfer activities, and attenuated increase in interleukin 6 and less decrease in tumor necrosis factor α across the pain testing session. DISCUSSION These findings suggest further exploration of inflammatory pathways linking clinical insomnia, and its improvement, to chronic pain.

Abstract
Background Sleep problem or disturbance often exists in pain or neurological/psychiatric diseases. However, sleep scoring is a time-consuming tedious labor. Very few studies discuss the 5-stage (wake/NREM1/NREM2/transition sleep/REM) automatic fine analysis of wake–sleep stages in rodent models. The present study aimed to develop and validate an automatic rule-based classification of 5-stage wake–sleep pattern in acid-induced widespread hyperalgesia model of the rat. Results The overall agreement between two experts’ consensus and automatic scoring in the 5-stage and 3-stage analyses were 92.32% (κ = 0.88) and 94.97% (κ = 0.91), respectively. Standard deviation of the accuracy among all rats was only 2.93%. Both frontal–occipital EEG and parietal EEG data showed comparable accuracies. The results demonstrated the performance of the proposed method with high accuracy and reliability. Subtle changes exhibited in the 5-stage wake–sleep analysis but not in the 3-stage analysis during hyperalgesia development of the acid-induced pain model. Compared with existing methods, our method can automatically classify vigilance states into 5-stage or 3-stage wake–sleep pattern with a promising high agreement with sleep experts. Conclusions In this study, we have performed and validated a reliable automated sleep scoring system in rats. The classification algorithm is less computation power, a high robustness, and consistency of results. The algorithm can be implanted into a versatile wireless portable monitoring system for real-time analysis in the future.

Tossing and turning with degenerative arthropathy: an assessment of poor sleep quality in knee osteoarthritis. Reumatologia 2019; 57:207-213. [PMID: 31548747 PMCID: PMC6753597 DOI: 10.5114/reum.2019.87615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2019] [Accepted: 08/20/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives To determine the frequency and predictors of sleep abnormalities among patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) in Nigeria. Material and methods A multi-centre, hospital-based, cross-sectional study, involving 250 knee OA patients. Consenting patients 18 years and above, who satisfied the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for knee OA were recruited from five Nigerian tertiary centres over 3 months. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect demographic and relevant clinical information. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality with scores ≥ 5 indicating poor sleep. Other variables assessed were pain, depression, functional class and family functioning. Data were summarized using appropriate measures of central tendency and dispersion. Multiple logistic regression analysis was done to identify predictors of poor sleep. Analysis was done using SPSS version 21.0 with p < 0.05 considered significant. Study approval was obtained from the ethical committees of each of the study sites. Results Participants included 209 females (83.6%) with mean age 59.9 ±10.6 years. One hundred and forty-one participants (56.4%) had PSQI scores ≥ 5 (poor sleep). This was significantly associated with depression (p < 0.001), level of education (p = 0.001), higher pain scores (p < 0.001), body mass index (p = 0.040), medial knee OA (p = 0.032) and patello-femoral OA (p = 0.002). Higher level of education, worse depression scores and higher WOMAC pain scores were the best predictors of poor sleep quality. Conclusion Sleep quality was poor in over half of our knee OA patients and best predicted by depression, pain and level of education. Regular sleep quality assessment for knee OA patients is recommended.

Abstract
Migraine with and without aura, cluster headache, hypnic headache, and paroxysmal hemicranias are each reported as intrinsically related to sleep. Chronic migraine, chronic tension-type headache, and medication overuse headache may cause sleep disturbance. Otherwise, both headache and sleep disorder may be manifestations of a same systemic dysfunction. There is a vicious cycle linking sleep disorders and migraine. The poor quality or poor duration of sleep could be a trigger of migraine attack and migraineurs with poor sleep reported a higher headache frequency. Moreover, coping behaviors of migraineurs (e.g., going to sleep early to relieve migraine attacks) can be factors precipitating and perpetuating sleep disturbances themselves. During cluster headache, patients report a poor quality of sleep correlated with the amount of daylight. In particular, it was demonstrated that melatonin levels have influences on cluster headache attacks. Concerning the pathophysiology of hypnic headache, it has been hypothesized a possible role of obstructive sleep apnea in triggering nocturnal attacks: an increased number of apnea episodes has been reported in hypnic headache patients, but a lack of a temporal correlation of headache attacks with the drop of oxygen saturation has been observed. Tension-type headache is the most common headache with sleep dysregulation (lack of sleep or oversleeping) frequently reported as a triggering factor for acute attacks: management of sleep disturbances seems crucial in this form of headache.
