Participants needed for study exploring sleep and chronic pain (University College London, London, UK)

Millions of people are living with a condition which causes chronic or persistent pain, negatively impacting physical and psychological wellbeing. The SCRIP Study led by PhD student Zoe Zambelli at University College London aims to unravel the relationship between sleep and pain for those affected by a painful condition.

A series of studies will be conducted to seek out ways to understand and improve sleep management in individuals with chronic pain. It is hoped this will contribute towards better pain outcomes and enhance overall well-being. This research is being funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.
