Sleep as a Marker in the Effective Management of Chronic Osteoarthritis Pain with Opioid Analgesics
Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, 06/29/09
Turk DC et al. - In each of the 10 placebo-controlled studies identified, concurrent improvements in pain intensity and measured sleep disturbances were observed in patients receiving the long-acting opioid analgesics under study.
