Identifying comorbid obstructive sleep apnea in chronic musculoskeletal pain: A systematic review.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). Understanding the characteristics of the CMP population with comorbid OSA is important for proper screening and management. This systematic review compiles evidence on methods used to identify OSA in patients with CMP and identifies the characteristic features of patients with CMP and comorbid OSA.
