ABSTRACT

Many patients with headaches complain of various sleep symptoms and have obstructive sleep apnea. Usually, treatment of sleep apnea with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may improve or resolve headache in a subset of patients. We report a case of new-onset headache after nasal CPAP therapy in an obstructive sleep apnea syndrome patient.
