Summary
Sleep disturbance before and after orthopedic surgery is linked to worse pain and sleep outcomes. Addressing sleep issues may improve recovery after sports surgery.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Sleep Medicine
- Rehabilitation Science
Background:
- Sleep disturbance is a modifiable risk factor impacting postsurgical recovery.
- A bidirectional relationship exists between pain and sleep both before and after surgery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the uni- or bidirectional relationships between sleep disturbances and pain behavior in patients undergoing sports orthopedic surgery.
- To analyze these relationships in active duty service members.
Main Methods:
- Observational, longitudinal cohort study of 296 adult active duty service members undergoing shoulder or knee surgery.
- Utilized PROMIS Sleep Disturbance and Pain Behavior computer adaptive testing pre-surgery, 6 weeks, and 3 months post-surgery.
- Employed nonparametric bivariate statistics and autoregressive/cross-lagged structural equation modeling.
Main Results:
- Presurgical and 2-week postsurgical sleep disturbance positively correlated with subsequent sleep disturbance and pain behavior.
- Sleep disturbance demonstrated a significant association with pain-related functioning and quality of life post-surgery.
Conclusions:
- Sleep disturbance may negatively influence pain-related outcomes and quality of life following sports orthopedic surgery.
- Further research with multidimensional patient-reported outcomes is needed to confirm the efficacy of sleep-targeted interventions for improving surgical outcomes.

Sedatives and Hypnotics Drugs: Miscellaneous Agents
232
Sedatives and hypnotics encompass a wide range of substances, each with its unique mechanism of action, uses, and potential adverse effects.
Melatonin congeners like ramelteon (Rozerem) and tasimelteon (Hetlioz) selectively bind to melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2) and thus mimic the actions of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Tasimelteon is primarily used for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder, common in blind patients. They are also used to treat conditions like insomnia...

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep
215
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.

Management of Insomnia
317
The sleep cycle, an integral part of human health, consists of several stages with distinct characteristics and functions. It begins with a transition from wakefulness to sleep, known as the light sleep phase, followed by the restorative deep sleep phase, essential for physical recovery and growth. The cycle concludes with the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase, characterized by high brain activity and vivid dreaming. Insomnia, a prevalent sleep disorder, involves difficulty falling asleep, staying...

Analgesia and Pain Management
786
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

The Placebo Effect

The placebo effect occurs when people's expectations or beliefs influence or determine their experience in a given situation. In other words, simply expecting something to happen can actually make it happen.

Insufficient Sleep and Sleep Deprivation
208
Insufficient sleep refers to not getting the recommended amount of sleep for optimal functioning, even if it's just slightly less than needed. Sleep insufficiency may occur due to lifestyle choices, such as staying up late for social events or work, resulting in routinely getting less sleep than required. For example, consistently sleeping 6 hours when the body needs 7-9 hours can lead to cumulative effects on health and well-being.
