Pain-autonomic interaction after work-induced sleep restriction

Background and purpose Poor sleep is commonly associated with alterations in pain perception. However, there is a lack of studies that address work‐associated sleep restriction (SR) and changes in non‐nociceptive perception and autonomic responses after work‐induced SR. Methods This study was perfor...

Description
Summary:Background and purpose Poor sleep is commonly associated with alterations in pain perception. However, there is a lack of studies that address work‐associated sleep restriction (SR) and changes in non‐nociceptive perception and autonomic responses after work‐induced SR. Methods This study was performed with 19 medical students after a normal‐sleep night (NS phase) and after a night shift at the local emergency room (SR phase). We performed clinical assessment, quantitative sensory testing for electrical and temperature sensation, RR interval analysis, and recorded sudomotor skin responses (SSRs). Results The total mean duration of sleep was 436 ± 18 min in the NS group and 120 ± 28 min in the SR group (P
