Study apnea after stroke to prevent new heart events
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) in people soon after a first stroke or a TIA, to see if it can be linked to new cardiovascular (heart/blood vessel) events. It also aims to make sure you can safely follow the study and rehabilitation plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 85 years old
- You were admitted to the stroke unit within 72 hours of stroke symptom start
- Your stroke (or TIA) was confirmed by brain scan, and your current disability score is mild (mRS 1 or less)
- You can sign consent yourself or a close relative can sign for you if needed
- If you’re able, doctors determine you might qualify for carotid surgery (this is for an extra study part)
- You must be able to follow the rehabilitation/therapy plan during the study

This study looks at breathing problems during sleep that can happen right after a stroke, and how these may affect mood, thinking, and other brain-related outcomes. If you’ve recently had a stroke or TIA, participating could help doctors understand and improve recovery.
This study looks at how sleep affects recovery in people who have had their first ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot). Researchers want to understand whether sleep quality influences how well patients regain function after stroke.
This trial looks at how severe sleep apnea breathing patterns relate to body “biomarkers” linked to Alzheimer’s disease, using blood or other measures. It may help researchers understand whether sleep apnea is connected to memory and brain health—and who might benefit most from better sleep care.
This study tests a personalised sleep and body-clock program for people who have had a stroke. The program aims to improve sleep patterns and daily rhythms, which may help with recovery and overall well-being.
This trial tests whether treating sleep apnea with a CPAP machine soon after a stroke can improve recovery. It is for people who had their first moderate-to-severe ischemic stroke and have not used CPAP before.
This study looks at whether using a PAP breathing machine soon after an ischemic stroke helps sleep and recovery. It focuses on people who have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea diagnosed around the time of their stroke.
