Abstract

Bishnoi Bruce

Chronic pain and sleep disorders are two intertwined conditions that often form a complex and challenging cycle for those who experience them. While each condition can significantly impact an individual's quality of life on its own, their coexistence can exacerbate symptoms and complicate treatment strategies. Exploring the intricate relationship between chronic pain and sleep disorders unveils a fascinating interplay that underscores the importance of addressing both aspects comprehensively for effective management and improved well-being. Chronic pain is characterized by persistent discomfort that lasts beyond the expected time for tissue healing, typically persisting for at least three to six months.
