Abstract in brief

This study examined women who experienced sexual assault and developed PTSD, focusing on how their sleep patterns and inflammation relate over time.
Despite improvements in PTSD symptoms and sleep quality after one year, inflammatory markers like IL1, TNF, IL6, and CRP increased, suggesting ongoing biological changes independent of symptom improvement.
Specific sleep features, such as decreased slowwave sleep, higher arousal, and insomnia severity, were significantly linked to increased inflammatory markers, highlighting the complex relationship between sleep disturbances and inflammation in PTSD.
