Abstract

Differentiating between circadian rhythm and sleep's effect on pain is challenging, as these two systems can be tightly coupled. A recent study by Daguet et al. found that circadian rhythm, rather than sleep drive, significantly contributed to the variability of experimental heat pain sensitivity in humans. These results support chrono-pharmacological approaches to pain management.
