Improving treatment adherence for sleep apnea in stroke patients during rehabilitation
Optimizing adherence to the treatment of sleep apnea among patients with strokeundergoing inpatient rehabilitation
['FUNDING_R01'] · UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON · NIH-11060937
This study is looking to help stroke survivors in rehab use their CPAP machines more regularly to treat their sleep apnea by creating a special program just for them, making it easier and more engaging to stick with their treatment.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among stroke survivors undergoing inpatient rehabilitation. It aims to develop and test a tailored behavioral intervention that engages stroke patients to improve their CPAP usage. By refining existing behavioral strategies, the study seeks to address the unique challenges faced by stroke patients in adhering to OSA treatment. The intervention will be evaluated through a multicenter randomized controlled trial to determine its effectiveness in improving health outcomes.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are stroke survivors aged 21 and older who have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have obstructive sleep apnea or are not recovering from a stroke may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve recovery and reduce the risk of recurrent strokes in patients with sleep apnea.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that behavioral interventions can improve CPAP adherence in the general population, but this approach is novel for stroke patients.
