PAIN BC Webinar: Myths and Facts About Sleep and Chronic Pain

Pain BC and CIRPD in collaboration with the Canadian Pain Coalition are pleased to announce the second session in our new webinar series, "Myths and Facts about Sleep and Chronic Pain". The webinar will feature Dr. Jonathan Fleming, MD, a consultant in the Sleep Disorders Program at the UBC Hospital and Associate Head for Education in the Department of Psychiatry at UBC.

The series, "Chronic Pain, Improving Life While Living It" is an opportunity for people living with pain and their families to hear from top researchers and practitioners on ways to live well with chronic pain. In this webinar, Dr. Fleming will review the findings from a variety of studies addressing the intricate, reciprocal relationship between pain and disturbed sleep, discussing the known mechanisms whereby pain disrupts sleep and disturbed sleep exacerbates pain. He will also describe the control of normal sleep and describe evidence-based strategies for maintaining a normal sleep-wake rhythm.
