Pain complaints after consecutive nights and quick returns in Norwegian nurses working three-shift rotation: an observational study

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

For five of six pain complaints, the hypotheses were not supported by the current data. For headache, we found potential support for a sleep-relieving effect on headache after working several nights in a row. Pain complaints were not instigated or exacerbated by an evening-to-morning transition between shifts.
