Abstract

Disturbed sleep and persistent pain are common in old people. Persistent pain has a well proven impact on sleep but the relationship between both phenomena is bidirectional since disturbed sleep affects pain perception by lowering the pain threshold. An optimal disease management takes both phenomena into account.
