Opioids impair respiratory drive through \u03bc-opioid receptor activation in brainstem respiratory centers, exacerbating both obstructive and central apneas. Chronic opioid use is also linked to a high prevalence of central sleep apnea and increased nocturnal hypoventilation. Simultaneously, SDB contributes to heightened pain sensitivity via intermittent hypoxia, systemic inflammation, and alterations in neural plasticity. These mechanisms may influence opioid efficacy and dosing requirements. This review summarizes current evidence on how SDB and opioid use interact, emphasizing chronic opioid use in the setting of chronic pain management. We discuss the underlying mechanisms, clinical impacts, and potential avenues for enhanced diagnosis and therapy in this population. We conclude that the intersection of SDB and opioid use presents a complex clinical challenge that demands a multidisciplinary approach. Enhanced screening, personalized pharmacologic strategies, and integration of advanced diagnostics are essential for mitigating risks and optimizing care. Future research should focus on mechanistic studies and interventional trials to guide evidence-based management of this high-risk population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14134758","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,7]],"date-time":"2025-07-07T06:03:13Z","timestamp":1751868193000},"page":"4758","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Interactions with Opioids: A Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-0727-9565","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peyton J.","family":"Murin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Saint Louis University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63104, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-8620-9902","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jora","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, Saint Louis University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63104, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4220-4979","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuri Chaves","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Saint Louis University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63110, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2415","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2016.7789","article-title":"Prescription of Long-Acting Opioids and Mortality in Patients With Chronic Noncancer Pain","volume":"315","author":"Ray","year":"2016","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"136","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pain.2009.05.029","article-title":"Activation of the prostaglandin system in response to sleep loss in healthy humans: Potential mediator of increased spontaneous pain","volume":"145","author":"Haack","year":"2009","journal-title":"Pain"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2650","DOI":"10.3390\/clinpract14060209","article-title":"Relationship Between Sleep Disturbances and Chronic Pain: A Narrative Review","volume":"14","author":"Jain","year":"2024","journal-title":"Clin.
