OBJECTIVE: Patients with painful conditions often suffer from sleep disturbances. However,
changes in sleep pattern per se could also influence pain tolerance. Untreated obstructive …

Abstract Study Objective: To evaluate effects of CPAP on pain sensitivity in severe OSA
patients. Design: Within-subject treatment study. Setting: Hospital-based sleep disorders …

Study Objectives: Sleep fragmentation has been linked to poor pain tolerance and lowered
pain threshold. Little evidence exists on whether continuous positive airway pressure …

Rationale: Prior research studies on the association of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and
pain intensity have examined older patients; there is a need to understand the relationship …

Objective The specific link between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and pain is unknown, but
it has been hypothesized that OSA patients are hyperalgesic because of fragmented sleep …

Objective.—We aimed to identify clinical features in patients with severe headaches that
predicted obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and determine clinical and sleep study …

Objectives: Complaints of fatigue are frequent in patients with obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA); however, the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on fatigue …

Objectives Sleep disturbances are increasingly recognized as a major part of chronic pain
pathology. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common occurrence in patients with chronic …

Study Objectives: Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is regarded
as the gold standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults, outcomes in …

Purpose Some patient subsets are at higher risk of sleep apnea, including patients with
chronic pain. However, it is unclear whether patients and their caregivers are aware of the …
