Sleep Health Program for Patients With Chronic Pain

Summary

This is a pilot, prospective, randomized controlled trial of a novel sleep health program versus no sleep intervention in chronic pain patients. The Sleep Health program will consist of weekly home-based videos and digital materials termed "Self-Management for Sleep Care", which will provide participants with information on how to improve their sleep through education on sleep hygiene, relaxation training, and cognitive behavioural components. Patients will be also be screened through undiagnosed sleep apnea. For those determined to have suspected undiagnosed moderate or severe sleep apnea, they will be receive a recommendation for referral to a sleep clinic as part of standard of care. The study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the Sleep Health Program which includes the videos and digital materials and screening for sleep apnea in patients with chronic pain.
