ABSTRACT

Although Low back pain puts an immerse economic strain on healthcare services, this disease is responsible for impacting people’s daily lives. Sleep quality has gained interest for people with musculoskeletal pain conditions as a contributing factor to the outcome. Sleep consistency has created consideration as a risk factor to the outcomes for people with MSK pain disorders. According to several studies, there is a bidirectional relationship between pain severity and sleep quality. The recent focus on the interaction of inflammatory processes in pain and sleep, on the one hand, leads to neuro-immunological pathways that may contribute to the close relationship between pain and sleep, on the other. To study association of poor sleep with low back pain among symptomatic and asymptomatic population. All asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals with low back pain in the group between 35-50 years of age filled the survey using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Insomnia Severity Index Questionnaire, and the data was analyzed. There's a link between low back pain and a lack of sleep. When compared to asymptomatic individuals, the visual analogue score for pain and the insomnia severity index score were higher in the symptomatic low back pain population, implying a bidirectional relationship between low back pain and poor sleep. In this study, we discovered a link between poor sleep and low back discomfort. This research found that there is a bidirectional relationship between low back discomfort and poor sleep, with one affecting the other and vice versa.
