Summary

This study looks at how chronic sleep problems and long-term low back pain are connected in the brain. Researchers will use brain scans to measure chemicals and structures in key brain areas. The goal is to understand the relationship better, not to test a new treatment. About 80 adults aged 18-60 with both conditions will participate.
