Sleep Disturbance in Musculoskeletal Conditions: Impact of a Digital Care Program.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is highly prevalent worldwide, resulting in significant disability, and comorbid sleep disturbances. Digital therapy for MSK pain can provide significant improvements in care access, alongside pain and disability reductions. However, studies on the effect of such programs on sleep are lacking.

Purpose

To evaluate the impact on pain-related sleep impairment after a 12-week remote multimodal digital care program (DCP) for MSK conditions.

Patients and methods

This is an ad-hoc analysis of a decentralized single-arm study into engagement and clinical outcomes after a DCP for MSK rehabilitation. Patients were stratified by baseline sleep disturbance, based on sleep questions in the questionnaires: Oswestry Disability Index, Neck Disabi
