What this trial studies

This observational study evaluates the health of patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) before and after three weeks of ventilotherapy. It focuses on cognitive performance, blood biomarkers related to neurodegeneration, and psychosocial wellbeing. Patients will undergo neuropsychological assessments, blood sampling, and complete self-reported questionnaires to identify changes in these areas. The study aims to provide comprehensive evidence on the benefits of ventilotherapy, potentially leading to improved patient outcomes and compliance.
