Lifestyle changes and CPAP for men with sleep apnea and metabolic issues

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of lifestyle modifications combined with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on men suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, metabolic syndrome, and erectile dysfunction. Forty male participants will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving only CPAP treatment or an intervention group receiving CPAP along with a structured lifestyle change program that includes exercise and dietary restrictions. The aim is to assess whether these lifestyle changes enhance the effectiveness of CPAP therapy in improving health outcomes. The study will last for 12 weeks, with participants monitored for improvements in their conditions.
