Sleep and Chronic Pain Interlaced Influences: Guidance to Physiotherapy Practice

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sleep Medicine and Physical Therapy

Abstract

Physical therapists (PTs) are among health professionals assessing and managing many rehabilitative conditions including pain. The main objective of this chapter is to clarify the role of PT in presence of pain and sleep complaints or disorders. In that way, management objectives would be directed not only toward pain but also to sleep. We first revised the definition and classification of pain, followed by a review on the pain and sleep interaction, and finally, we suggest a management route by which PTs can achieve efficient results when dealing with pain and sleep in their clinical practice.

Although evidence available for the PT in the management of chronic pain and sleep is scarce, and more research is needed, further understanding of the interlaced action of chronic pain and sleep disturbances by PT will contribute to improving the management of this potentially deleterious association.
