Occupational therapists' perspectives on current practice in chronic pain and sleep disturbances.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Chronic pain and sleep disturbances are often co-morbid. Sleep disturbances can negatively affect self-care occupations, cognition, mood, emotional functioning and physical wellbeing. Aim: To explore occupational therapists' experience working with clients with chronic pain and sleep difficulties. Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 occupational therapists with experience working with clients with sleep disturbances and chronic pain. Findings: The relationship between sleep disturbances and chronic pain was described as being complex and multifaceted. Participants believed they were uniquely placed to work with clients experiencing these two conditions. They felt inadequately equipped to treat sleep disturbances and chronic pain. Participants indicated that best practice required multiple interventions and a team-based approach. Finally, the participants noted that sleep disturbances and chronic pain are a growing area of practice. Conclusion: The findings suggest that occupational therapists tailor their intervention strategies to be early, multi-pronged and individualised. Institutional barriers need to be addressed to further develop occupational therapists' skill set when working in the areas of sleep and chronic pain. Further research to support the interventions currently used in practice to treat these two conditions is needed.
