Overview
Many patients with chronic nerve pain struggle to sleep, leading to fatigue and reduced quality of life. Enticare worked with a 54-year-old patient suffering from diabetic neuropathy and severe nighttime pain.
The Challenge
The patient experienced burning and tingling sensations in both legs, making restful sleep impossible. Over-the-counter medications provided little relief. They sought help from Enticare’s multidisciplinary sleep team.
The Approach
Enticare specialists conducted a full sleep evaluation and nerve assessment, combining sleep hygiene guidance with targeted treatment:
-
Personalized sleep environment adjustments (cooling, bedding support)
-
Cognitive-behavioral therapy for sleep (CBT-I)
-
Nutritional and supplement guidance (B vitamins, magnesium)
-
Physical therapy with gentle stretching and posture correction
The Results
After 6 weeks:
✅ Sleep latency decreased by 60%
✅ Average nightly awakenings reduced from 5 to 1
✅ Reported morning fatigue decreased by 70%
✅ Pain intensity scores improved from 8/10 to 4/10
The patient reported feeling “refreshed for the first time in years” and resumed normal activities without chronic exhaustion.
Conclusion
Enticare’s integrative care model proves that addressing both pain management and sleep optimization can transform patient outcomes for those suffering from neuropathic pain.
