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. Improved overall sleep quality, reduced awakenings from pain, and increased duration of sleep were among the favorable changes observed in patients with OA treated with long-acting opioids. Current evidence suggests that various long-acting opioid analgesics simultaneously achieve pain control and improve sleep. However, the complex interaction between reduced pain and improved sleep requires further study.
