Welcome to the research study about sleep and pain!

Title of Project: New approach in chronic pain to target sleep problems: a modified version of CBT-I which takes into account the sleep-pain relationship.
Name of Researcher(s): Dr. Thomas Bilterys (University of Warwick), Prof. Dr. Nicole Tang (University of Warwick), Prof. Dr. Jo Nijs (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium)

We are interested in understanding the relation between pain and sleep and investigating the feasibility of new approaches. For this study, we will first conduct a screening and baseline assessment. If you are eligible for study participation, you will be asked to complete an online intervention (6 weeks, one session per week), a post-intervention assessment and a follow-up assessment (3 months after the intervention). All your responses and recorded data will be kept completely confidential.

The completion of the informed consent and the screening survey that follows, should take you around 10 minutes to complete. Your participation in this research is voluntary. You have the right to withdraw at any point during the study. The Principal Investigator of this study can be contacted at SleepPainStudy@warwick.ac.uk.

Please find additional information and details of the study in the Participant Information Leaflet.

I confirm that I have read and understand the information sheet (version 2.1, 20/03/24) for the above study. I have had the opportunity to consider the information, ask questions and have had these answered satisfactorily.

I understand that my participation is voluntary and that I am free to withdraw at any time without giving any reason, without my medical, social care, education, or legal rights being affected.

I understand that pseudonymised data (data that cannot be reidentified without the “key file”) might be shared with future research partners. The shared personal data will be limited to the age and sex of the participant. Apart from that, no partner will have access to any personal identifiable data.

I understand that my general practitioner will not receive any data and will not be informed about my participation in this study unless specifically requested.

I understand that, in line with Warwick’s Research Data policy, data will be retained intact in an appropriate format and storage facility, for a period of at least 10 years from the date of any publication which is based upon it.

I wish to receive a summary of the findings from this study when they become available.
