Sleep deprivation can cause hyperalgesia, and the mechanisms involve glutamic acid, dopamine, serotonin, metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5, adenosine A2A receptor, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, opioid receptor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, melatonin, etc. The mechanisms of hyperalgesia caused by sleep deprivation are complex. The current treatment methods are mainly to improve sleep and relieve pain. This paper reviews the mechanism and treatment progress of hyperalgesia induced by sleep deprivation, and aims to provide scientific evidence for the treatment of hyperalgesia caused by sleep deprivation.
