Brief Summary:
Chronic widespread pain (CWP), defined as long-lasting pain in multiple body regions, has a prevalence of 10-14% in Europe and is associated with other physical symptoms such as fatigue and cognitive problems. Individuals with longstanding pain also have a high prevalence of sleep disturbances, and sleep problems can in itself lead to tiredness, lower neurocognitive function and higher pain ratings. However, studies of comorbid sleep problems for individuals with CWP are a lacking, and the primary aim for the present study is to assess the prevalence of sleep disturbances in individuals with CWP, and to see how this covariates with pain, fatigue, activity level, neurocognitive functioning, and biomarkers. As a secondary aim the study will assess a subgroup of the individuals, that has received multimodal pain management treatment, a second time after 6 months to analyze how the prevalence of sleep disturbances and other associated problems covaries over time.

Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: Prevalence of Sleep Disturbances in Individuals With Chronic Widespread Pain
Actual Study Start Date : September 1, 2019
Estimated Primary Completion Date : June 30, 2021
Estimated Study Completion Date : June 30, 2022

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Intervention Diagnostic Test: Polysomnography
Sleep screening, neurocognitive assessment, activity monitoring questionnaires, blood sample




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Polysomnography [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Assessment of objective sleep problems


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. CANTAB [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Neurocognitive screening

  2. Actigraph [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Activity level

  3. Biomarkers [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    92-plex inflammatory panel

  4. Pain level [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    The Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form, BPI, a 9 item (0-10) self-administered questionnaire, assessing the severity of a patient's pain and the impact of this pain on the patient's daily functioning. Maximum total score possible is 90. Higher the score, greater the degree of disability.

  5. Fatigue [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Fatigue severity scale, FSS, a 9 item self-administered questionnaire assessing severity of fatigue and how fatigue interferes with activity. Items are scored on a 7 point scale, minimum total score possible is 9 and maximum 63. Higher the score, greater the severity.
