Popis: CONTEXT: Pain can be a debilitating side effect of radiation therapy (RT). Data from the general population has shown that sleep disturbance can influence pain incidence and severity; however, less is known about this relationship in breast cancer patients receiving RT. OBJECTIVES: This secondary analysis examined the association of pre-treatment moderate/severe levels of sleep disturbance with subsequent RT-induced pain after adjusting for pre-RT pain. METHODS: We report on 573 female breast cancer patients undergoing RT from a previously completed phase II clinical trial for radiation dermatitis. Sleep disturbance, total pain, and pain subdomains – sensory pain, affective pain, and perceived pain intensity were assessed at pre- and post-RT. At pre-RT, patients were dichotomized into 2 groups: those with moderate/severe sleep disturbance (N=85) vs. those with no/mild sleep disturbance (control; N=488). RESULTS: At pre-RT, women with moderate/severe sleep disturbance were younger, less likely to be married, more likely to have had mastectomy and chemotherapy, and more likely to have depression/anxiety disorder and fatigue than the control group (all p’s
