Diagnosis and Treatment of Sleep Apnea in Cerebrovascular Disease
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating CPAP Therapy for Newly Diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) for Obstructive Sleep Apnea and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 225 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Sleep apnea is common among Veterans with cerebrovascular disease (stroke or transient ischemic attack \[TIA\]), leads to hypertension, and is associated with recurrent stroke and death. Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) safely treats sleep apnea, few Veterans with cerebrovascular disease are diagnosed with sleep apnea or offered treatment.
