Effects of commonly used analgesics on sleep architecture: a topical review.

This article is a review on the effects of commonly used analgesics on sleep architecture. It discusses the bidirectional relationship between sleep and pain, as well as the negative effects of insufficient sleep on bodily functions. The authors focus on the effects of analgesics on sleep in patients with persistent pain and in healthy volunteers, including drugs such as paracetamol, NSAIDs, opioids, tricyclic and dual-action antidepressants, and gabapentinoids. The article provides a table summarizing the effects of these drugs on sleep parameters and pain levels. It emphasizes the importance of further research in this field to identify optimal treatment strategies. Additionally, there are two documents that provide references to scientific studies exploring the relationship between sleep and pain, as well as the effects of medications on sleep quality and pain. These studies offer valuable insights for researchers and individuals interested in understanding and managing these conditions. [Extracted from the article]
