Maximizing Use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Stroke Rehabilitation Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for Sleep Apnea, Obstructive and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 90 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with impaired stroke recovery. Treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may prevent this but is limited by poor adherence. In this study, the investigators enrolled eligible stroke patients undergoing inpatient rehabilitation (IPR) into an intensive CPAP adherence protocol (iCAP) with an aim to increase tolerance and adherence to auto-titrating CPAP (APAP).
