Sleep Disordered Breathing, Obesity and Pregnancy Study (SOAP)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CPAP, sham-CPAP, and 1 other intervention for Obese and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 242 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to better understand how sleep apnea, a common sleep disorder in which a person has one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while sleeping, may affect pregnancy and to determine the effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), a treatment that uses mild air pressure to keep the airways open during sleep, for pregnant women with sleep apnea.

Interventions
CPAP is a device that has a mask worn over the nose that is attached to a device that provides positive airway pressure. CPAP is worn while sleeping, it splints open the airway and prevents apneas (cessation of breathing) and hypopneas (reduced airflow while breathing).
