Abstract: ABSTRACT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL SLEEP QUALITY ENHANCEMENT IN ELDERLY WITH CHRONIC PAIN The present invention relates to an integrated non-pharmacological sleep hygiene intervention system (100) and method for enhancing sleep quality in elderly individuals suffering from chronic pain conditions. The system (100) comprises a sleep assessment module (110) utilizing standardized assessment tools, a meditation therapy module (120), a chair yoga therapy module (130), a warm foot soak therapy module (140), and a sleep hygiene education module (150), all coordinated through an intervention scheduling and coordination unit (170). The method involves pre-intervention assessment of sleep quality and pain levels, administration of the integrated interventions over a defined period, and post-intervention evaluation to measure outcomes. The invention addresses the bidirectional relationship between chronic pain and sleep disturbances in geriatric populations while avoiding risks associated with pharmacological treatments. Clinical evaluation demonstrated statistically significant improvement in sleep quality scores and reduction in pain levels. [
