Sleep apnea treatment for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had a stroke caused by a blockage in one of the large blood vessels in your brain (this is called an ischemic stroke).
- Your stroke symptoms started less than 12 hours before you arrived at the hospital.
- Your stroke severity score (NIHSS) is between 4 and 20 at the time of enrollment.
- You have not had a previous stroke, and you do not currently use a CPAP machine for sleep apnea.
- You do not have serious medical conditions such as heart failure, severe lung disease, or dementia.

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 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 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 tests a treatment that may help reduce brain inflammation and improve sleep in people who have had a first stroke and now have trouble sleeping. It uses a non-invasive technique called remote ischemic conditioning, which involves brief, repeated cycles of a blood pressure cuff on the arm.
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea can help protect memory and brain health in older adults. It involves using a CPAP machine or other treatments for sleep apnea and may include memory tests and brain scans over 2 years.
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.
