Summary

This study tests whether sleeping with a weighted blanket can reduce pain and improve sleep and daily function in adults with chronic pain. About 44 participants will use a blanket weighing roughly 10% of their body weight every night for five weeks. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach is worth studying further for pain management.
