Randomized Controlled TrialSleep outcomes in youth with chronic pain participating in a randomized controlled trial of online cognitive-behavioral therapy for pain management.
Sleep disturbances are commonly reported in youth with chronic pain. We examined whether online cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for pain management would impact youth's sleep. Subjective sleep quality and actigraphic sleep were evaluated in 33 youth (M = 14.8 years; 70% female) with chronic pain participating in a larger randomized controlled trial of online-CBT. ⋯ Although pain improved with online-CBT, no changes were observed in sleep outcomes. Shorter pretreatment sleep duration was associated with less improvement in posttreatment functioning. Findings underscore the need for further development in psychological therapies to more intensively target sleep loss in youth with chronic pain.

Actigraphy and Sleep Diary Measurements in Breast Cancer Survivors: Discrepancy in Selected Sleep Parameters.
This analysis examined the discrepancy between sleep diary and actigraphy measurements in breast cancer survivors (BCS) with insomnia. BCS from communities in Western U. S. provided demographic/medical information, insomnia, mood, and fatigue data at baseline. ⋯ There were no significant relationships between TST and WASO discrepancy and participant characteristics. There may be sleep differences in BCS that results in greater perceived TST and less WASO reported in diaries. Measurements discrepancy is a significant concern needing further evaluation of medical populations with insomnia.
