Stroke and CPAP Outcome Study 2

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, Stroke, Patient Adherence

In brief

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).
