Does Treatment of Sleep-Disordered Breathing Improve Functional Outcomes in SCI
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Best practices PAP + patient Education +ongoing Support and Training and Sleep Education for Spinal Cord Injury and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 73 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) remains under-treated in individuals living with spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D). The investigators' aim is to test a program that addresses challenges and barriers to positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment of SDB among patients with SCI/D. The investigators anticipate that patients who receive this program will have higher rates of PAP use and will demonstrate improvements in sleep quality, general functioning, respiratory functioning and quality of life from baseline to 6 months follow up compared to individuals who receive a control program. This work addresses critical healthcare needs for patients with SCI/D and may lead to improved health and quality of life for these patients.
