Summary
We would like to test the effect of opioid medication on pain sensitivity in subjects who
have been diagnosed with a sleep disorder called Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) compared to
other subjects without OSA. Patients with OSA may have an altered sensitivity to the
sedative, analgesic, and respiratory depressant effects of opioids.
