CPAP for Sleep Apnea After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a CPAP machine (a device that helps you breathe while sleeping) can improve recovery after a recent stroke or brain bleed. You may join if you had a stroke in the past month and are not already using CPAP.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older.
- You have had a stroke or brain bleed in the last 30 days, confirmed by a CT or MRI scan.
- You are able to give consent in English or Spanish, or have a legal representative who can.
- You are not pregnant, not in prison, and not on a breathing machine or high-flow oxygen.

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.
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.
This study tests whether using a CPAP machine (which helps keep your airway open while you sleep) can improve memory and thinking in people who have both mild memory problems and sleep apnea. If you qualify, you will be asked to use the machine at home and have regular check-ins.
This study looks at different types of sleep apnea to find the best treatment for each person. If you are newly diagnosed and haven't tried CPAP yet, your participation could help doctors personalize therapy for better results.
This study tests a new proactive therapy for people recently diagnosed with moderate or severe sleep apnea. It aims to see how well patients stick with the treatment outside of a sleep lab.
