ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Fragmented Sleep, Pain, and Biomechanics," is studying how a lack of good sleep affects how we feel pain and our body's movement. Researchers want to find out if interrupted sleep makes people more sensitive to pain, specifically in the knee and shoulder, and what might be happening in the body that causes this increase in pain sensitivity.

To participate, you need to be a healthy adult between the ages of 18 and 45 and have a smartphone. Unfortunately, if you are pregnant, have a history of drug addiction, or any current or previous serious health issues, you won't be able to join. If you take part in the study, you will receive two injections—one in your knee and one in your upper arm—that will cause temporary pain. The study is currently looking for participants, and it aims to help us better understand the connection between sleep and pain.
