Participant Flow

Men and women aged 35-75 experiencing chronic pain and insomnia were recruited from the community through newspaper advertisements and from local pain clinics via recruitment flyers.

Participants completed intake interview, physical exam, clinical chemistries and toxicology screens; completed daily pain-sleep diaries for two weeks; and then underwent polysomnography. Seven subjects were excluded prior to randomization (4 due to sleep apnea, 1 did not meet pain severity criteria, and 2 subsequently declined to participate).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Pre to Post Treatment Change (Over an average of approximately 10 weeks)

Population: Subjects completing blood draws to obtain plasma. One subject in the CBT-I\&P condition did not complete blood draws.

Circulating levels of Interleukin-6 (IL-6)from plasma drawn in the morning. Values are presented as picograms per milliliter (pg/mL) and can range from 0 to 500, though tend to be in the range of 0-10. Higher values indicate higher amounts of circulating levels of IL-6, a marker of increased inflammatory processes.
