Brief summary (from the registry)
Pain is one of the most common causes of healthcare contact and long-term sick leave, with negative consequences on physical and mental health. Poor sleep is common in chronic pain patients. Epidemiological studies indicate that 5-7% of patients with chronic pain are treated regularly with strong opioids. Negative side effects of pain modulating drugs on sleep quality have been reported, which may have negative influence on overall disease management in chronic pain patients. However, to date there are conflicting results regarding the effects of opioids on sleep, since the pain relieving effect of opioids seem to affect sleep positively. There is data suggesting that physical activity has positive effects on both pain perception and sleep quality (and duration). The aim of the study is to explore insomnia and characteristics of sleep in patients with chronic pain and the relationship with physical activity level and opioid use.
