Chronic Pain is the stage where the strongest man will get defeat. Researchers say people with Chronic Pain can benefit from therapy that can help them sleep better.

A new study found that cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) was moderately or severely effective in controlling insomnia in patients with prolonged pain. And chronic pain suffering not only benefited from improved sleep - but they also experienced an entirely positive effect on anxiety, fatigue, and depression.
Chronic pain: a new study,

Conducted by the University of Warwick, showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) was moderately or severely effective in controlling insomnia in patients with long-term illness. However, researchers found that the treatment worked only in person.

People with Chronic Pain Could Benefit from Therapy to Help them Sleep Better.

Research leader Dr. Nicole Tang of Warwick University said: “Poor sleep is a potential cause of poor health, and previous research suggests it could lead to obesity, diabetes, stroke, and coronary heart disease - even death.” Insomnia can also increase your risk of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. This is also a severe problem for those who suffer from pain that lasts longer than three to six months, and that is why we looked at this group.

Study this
study is especially important because the use of medications to treat insomnia
is not recommended for an extended period; therefore, the condition must be
treated with non-pharmacological treatment. We are interested in primary care
physicians and related medical workers, who are playing an increasingly important
role in the prevention and treatment of long-term conditions. Help for patients
with insomnia: it has been found that people with chronic pain help improve
sleep.

Sleep, conducted the first meta-analysis of
the effects of non-drug treatment for insomnia, examining the experience of
more than a thousand people suffering from chronic pain. They studied 72
studies with a total of 1,066 people. Patients aged 45 to 61 years who suffered
from insomnia and experienced depression caused by various diseases, such as
prolonged cancer, headaches, and arthritis. The treatment being evaluated
covered multiple approaches.

The most
prevalent intervention strategies included psycho-education about sleep hygiene
- good sleep habits such as regular sleep, stimulus control, sleep restriction,
and cognitive therapy. Poor sleep is a potential cause of poor health, and
previous studies have suggested that it can lead to obesity, diabetes, stroke, and
coronary heart disease - even death.

Dr. Nicole
Tang, research leader. In addition to emphasizing the positive effects of CBT
on insomnia, the researchers found a mild to moderate reduction in pain
immediately after treatment. They also noted that improved sleep led to a
decrease in depression after surgery and up to 12 months later. This underlines
the value of treating insomnia, which exists in chronic pain as early as
possible, they say.

However,
when delivered electronically - either by telephone or via the Internet - the
treatment methods were less active.

Dr. Tan
added: “We have found little evidence that treating insomnia by phone or
computer is beneficial. Still, No decision has yet been made on the
effectiveness of using automatic sleep procedures. We have found that, at least
for the time being, therapy has personally had the most positive effect on
insomnia. ” The researchers concluded that more research is needed to establish
whether treatment of patients using CBT is appropriate and cost-effective in
the long term.
