Not Yet Recruiting
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether sleep hygiene education can improve sleep quality and reduce pain in adults with migraine and/or chronic lower back pain. Poor sleep is common in people with chronic pain and may worsen symptoms. Improving sleep may help break this cycle. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Does a four-week sleep hygiene education program improve sleep quality? 2. Does improved sleep lead to reduced pain intensity and changes in pain sensitivity? This study does not include a comparison group. Each participant serves as their own comparison by completing the same tests before and after the sleep hygiene program. Participants will: * Attend two study visits lasting 30-60 minutes, one at the beginning and one after four weeks * Complete questionnaires about sleep, pain, mood, and quality of life at both visits * Undergo pain sensitivity testing using light pinprick stimulations on the forearm * Receive individual sleep hygiene education and written materials to use at home for four weeks * Complete a short weekly online check-in about sleep habits and pain * Complete a three-month follow-up questionnaire about sleep habits, sleep quality, and pain
