• The association of sleepiness, insomnia, sleep disturbance and pain: a study amongst shiftworking nurses 

      Katsifaraki, Maria; Nilsen, Kristian Bernhard; Wærsted, Morten; Knardahl, Stein; Lie, Jenny-Anne Sigstad; Bjorvatn, Bjørn; Härmä, Mikko; Matre, Dagfinn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Sleep problems are commonly associated with chronic pain. It is not known whether pain is more related to a particular type of sleep problem or to more composite measures of sleep disturbance. The aim of the study was to ...
    • Experimental sleep restriction facilitates pain and electrically induced cortical responses 

      Matre, Dagfinn; Hu, Lu; Viken, Leif Andre; Hjelle, Ingri Berild; Wigemyr, Monica; Knardahl, Stein; Sand, Trond; Nilsen, Kristian Bernhard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      Study Objectives: Sleep restriction (SR) has been hypothesized to sensitize the pain system. The current study determined whether experimental sleep restriction had an effect on experimentally induced pain and pain-elicited ...
    • Influence of psychological and social work factors on mental health 

      Finne, Live Bakke (Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2016:273, Doctoral thesis, 2016)
      The overall aim of this thesis was broadening the scope of specific psychological and social work factors investigated as possible predictors of employees` mental health, focusing on mental distress (symptoms of anxiety ...
    • Night-shift work is associated with increased pain perception 

      Matre, Dagfinn; Knardahl, Stein; Nilsen, Kristian Bernhard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Objectives: The aim of the present study was to determine whether shift workers exhibit increased perception of experimentally induced pain after working night shifts. Methods: The study was a paired cross-over design with ...
    • Sleep duration mediates abdominal and lower-extremity pain after night work in nurses 

      Katsifaraki, Maria; Nilsen, Kristian Bernhard; Christensen, Jan Olav; Wærsted, Morten; Knardahl, Stein; Bjorvatn, Bjørn; Härmä, Mikko; Matre, Dagfinn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between different working shifts (i.e. morning, evening, night shifts) and headache, musculoskeletal and abdominal pain, and the extent to which reduced ...
    • Sleep restriction does not potentiate nocebo‐induced changes in pain and cortical potentials 

      Ree, Anbjørn; Nilsen, Kristian Bernhard; Knardahl, Stein; Sand, Trond; Matre, Dagfinn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Background: The increased pain sensitivity following reduced sleep may be related to changes in cortical processing of nociceptive stimuli. Expectations shape pain perception and can inhibit (placebo) or enhance (nocebo) ...
