Chronic pain: A New Case

Study,
Conducted by the University of Warwick, showed that cognitive-
behavioral therapy (CBT) was moderately or severely effective in
controlling insomnia in patients with long-term illness. However,
researchers found that the treatment worked only in person.
Research leader Dr. Nicole Tang of Warwick University said: “Poor sleep
is a potential cause of poor health, and previous research suggests it
could lead to obesity, diabetes, stroke, and coronary heart disease -
even death.” Insomnia can also increase your risk of depression,
anxiety, and substance abuse. This is also a severe problem for those
who suffer from pain that lasts longer than three to six months, and

12 months later. This underlines the value of treating insomnia, which

exists in chronic pain as early as possible, they say.
However, when delivered electronically - either by telephone or via the
Internet - the treatment methods were less active.
Dr. Tan added: “We have found little evidence that treating insomnia
by phone or computer is beneficial. Still, No decision has yet been made
on the effectiveness of using automatic sleep procedures. We have
found that, at least for the time being, therapy has personally had the
most positive effect on insomnia. ” The researchers concluded that
more research is needed to establish whether treatment of patients
using CBT is appropriate and cost-effective in the long term.
