This study is investigating whether CPAP therapy — a common breathing machine treatment for sleep apnea — can help reduce chronic pain in people who have both conditions. Researchers will ask you to complete questionnaires when you start treatment and again at 3 and 6 months to track how your pain, sleep quality, fatigue, mood, and overall well-being change as you use the machine. The goal is to understand whether treating your sleep apnea with this device also improves your chronic pain symptoms.
Many people have both sleep apnea and chronic pain, but we don't yet know how much treating sleep apnea with a breathing machine actually improves pain and other symptoms like fatigue, mood, and quality of life. This study will help doctors understand whether this treatment works for both conditions together.

You will start using a CPAP breathing machine as part of your regular sleep apnea care. Along with this, you'll complete brief questionnaires about your pain, sleep quality, fatigue, mood, and overall quality of life at the beginning of treatment, then again at 3 months and 6 months. Researchers will also review information from your sleep study and track how many hours per night you actually use the machine. The entire study lasts 6 months, and most of your participation involves filling out these questionnaires at home.
