Abstract

Difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep or overall poor sleep quality may occur in isolation or in combination with one another, leading to sleep disorders which are thought to occur in 30% of the general population and as much as 90% of chronic pain sufferers (Bjurstrom et al., 2021; Bjurstrom & Irwin, 2016; Finan et al., 2013; Roth, 2007). Central sensitization (CS) and sleep disturbances in people with chronic pain are closely linked. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) appears improve an individual’s ability to sleep but the quality and pattern of improvement of sleep has not been examined. The objective is to (i) prospectively evaluate the quality and pattern of sleep following implantation of SCS using validated sleep questionnaires and to (ii) evaluate the inclusion sleep quality as a measurable outcome.
