AI Article Synopsis
- Insomnia is prevalent in chronic neck pain (CNP) patients, significantly worsening pain, mood, and overall function, highlighting its impact on clinical outcomes.
- A study analyzed 218 CNP patients, revealing that 22.9% had clinically significant insomnia, with high pain intensity, comorbid musculoskeletal pain, and depression identified as strong risk factors—particularly depression being a major predictor.
- The research suggests that addressing insomnia is crucial in pain management for CNP patients, especially those with identified risk factors like depression.
Article Abstract
Background: Insomnia is highly prevalent among people with chronic pain conditions. Because insomnia has been shown to worsen pain, mood, and physical functioning, it could negatively impact the clinical outcomes of patients with chronic pain.
Objective: To determine the risk factors associated with clinical insomnia in chronic neck pain (CNP) patients.
Study Design: Retrospective analysis.
Setting: Outpatient department for interventional pain management at a university hospital.
Methods: Data from 218 CNP patients were analyzed in this study. The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) was used to determine the presence of clinical insomnia (ISI score ≥ 15). Patient demographics and pain-related factors were evaluated with logistic regression analysis to identify risk factors of clinical insomnia in CNP.
Results: In total, 53.7% of patients reported mild to severe insomnia after neck pain development; 22.9% of patients met the criteria for clinically significant insomnia (ISI score ≥ 15). In multivariate analysis, high pain intensity, the presence of comorbid musculoskeletal pain, and a high level of depression were strongly associated with clinical insomnia in patients with CNP. Among these factors, a greater level of depression was the strongest predictor of clinical insomnia, with the highest odds ratio of 3.689 (95% CI 1.570-8.667).
Limitations: This study was conducted in a single clinical setting including a selected study population with a homogeneous racial background. The ISI does not include several sleep-related variables, the roles of which are unknown in determining insomnia severity.
Conclusions: Insomnia should be addressed as an indispensable part of pain management in CNP patients with these risk factors, especially depression.
Clinical Trial: This study is a retrospective analysis. IRB No: 4-2014-0801.

Background And Aims: Military veterans demonstrate high rates of heavy drinking and insomnia, but few if any studies have tested real-world, daily associations between sleep and alcohol use within this population. Moreover, although daily diary and experimental studies among civilians have found negative associations between alcohol use and sleep, these patterns change with consecutive days of drinking and may differ for those with insomnia. This study measured (a) acute and cumulative day-level associations between sleep and alcohol use among heavy-drinking US veterans and (b) the extent to which insomnia moderates these associations.

Background: Tinnitus is a major health issue, but currently no tinnitus elimination treatments exist for chronic subjective tinnitus. Acoustic therapy, especially personalized acoustic therapy, plays an increasingly important role in tinnitus treatment. With the application of smartphones, personalized acoustic stimulation combined with smartphone apps will be more conducive to the individualized treatment and management of patients with tinnitus.

Insomnia and some insomnia treatments can impact an individual's daytime functioning. Here, we performed post hoc analyses of patient-reported outcomes from a phase 3 clinical trial to assess the impact of lemborexant (LEM), a dual orexin receptor antagonist, on daytime functioning. Adults with insomnia were randomized 1:1:1 to receive placebo, LEM 5 mg (LEM5) or LEM 10 mg (LEM10) for 6 months.
