Sleep disturbances and chronic pain are prevalent and interrelated conditions that have significant impact on individuals’ quality of life. Understanding the intricate dynamics between sleep and pain is crucial for developing effective treatments that enhance the well-being of affected individuals and reduce the economic burden of these debilitating conditions. This narrative review examines the complex relationship between sleep disturbances and chronic pain. We describe the prevalence and types of sleep disturbances and sleep disorders in chronic pain patients. Posteriorly, we critically review the clinical and experimental evidence, investigating the relationship between sleep disturbances and chronic pain, aiming to clarify the impact of chronic pain on sleep and, conversely, the impact of sleep disturbances on pain perception. In conclusion, the literature largely agrees on the existence of a bidirectional relationship between chronic pain and sleep disturbances, though the strength of each direction in this association remains uncertain. Current evidence suggests that sleep impairment more strongly predicts pain than pain does sleep impairment. Additionally, addressing sleep disturbances in chronic pain patients is crucial, as poor sleep has been linked to higher levels of disability, depression, and pain-related catastrophizing.

Bertolotti’s syndrome is described as lower back pain with the presence of lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) associated with an articulation, pseudoarticulation, or full fusion of the transverse process to the sacrum and ilium. We present a unique case of the management of a 57-year-old woman with treatment-resistant lower back pain who underwent endoscopic resection of a pseudoarticulation related to LSTV. The patient underwent multiple treatment regimens without achieving satisfactory relief. These included physical therapy, sacroiliac (SI) joint injections, radiofrequency lesioning at multiple levels, and spinal cord stimulator placement. Relief with injection at the patient’s pseudoarticulation confirmed this as a contributor to the patient’s back pain. Interventional management of Bertolotti’s syndrome can include different modalities, most recently including minimally invasive surgical techniques. This patient experienced partial relief of lower back pain after undergoing minimally invasive resection of the pseudoarticulation. This case demonstrates the benefit of a minimally invasive resection of this anatomic abnormality in a patient who has undergone previous treatments. Isolating this anomaly as a source of pain is necessary to ensure a favorable response and prevent needless surgery.

Early diagnosis of brachial plexus injuries is crucial to prevent long-term morbidity and improve outcomes. We present a unique case of delayed onset of brachial plexus compression two months following a traumatic gunshot injury causing multiple injuries including a T1 vertebral body comminuted fracture and pneumothorax. The patient experienced significant pain and progressive neurological examination changes during follow-up visits, and thus duplex ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) angiography were performed, which demonstrated a left subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm. This was managed operatively by evacuation and interposition bypass. Injuries to the cervical and upper thoracic spine are complex, and when patients present with new-onset neurological findings, axillary swelling, or significant uncontrolled postoperative pain, secondary complications should be suspected. Patients at a high risk of vascular reinjury should be routinely monitored at follow-up to prevent the development of progressive neurological damage to the brachial plexus.

Posteriorly we critically review the clinical and experimental evidence investigating the relationship between sleep disturbances and chronic pain aiming to clarify the impact of chronic pain on sleep and, conversely, the impact of sleep disturbances on pain perception. We conclude that a bidirectional relationship between chronic pain and sleep disturbances is almost a consensus in the literature, however, the strength of each direction of the association is less clear. As of now, the literature suggests that sleep impairment is a stronger predictor of pain than pain is a predictor of sleep impairment. Additionally, addressing sleep disturbances in chronic pain patients is crucial, as poor sleep has been linked to higher levels of disability, depression, and pain-related catastrophizing.
