The association between sleep quality, low back pain and disability: A prospective study in routine practice

ConclusionsImprovement in SQ is associated with improvements in LBP and in disability at 3‐month follow‐up, suggesting that they may reflect or be influenced by common factors. However, baseline SQ does not predict improvements in pain or disability. SignificanceIn clinical practice, sleep quality, low back pain and disability are associated. However, sleep quality at baseline does not predict improvement in pain and disability.
