(RCTs) examining the effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in stroke …

Study Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an independent risk factor for stroke.
The objective of this study was to assess the effect of continuous positive airway pressure …

Few randomized controlled trials have evaluated the effectiveness of continuous positive
airway pressure (CPAP) in reducing recurrent vascular events and mortality in poststroke …

Background: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common after stroke, but it is unclear
whether it should be treated. Objective: To conduct a randomised controlled trial of …

Recruitment into randomized studies appeared particularly challenging; investigators

Background New approaches are needed to treat patients with stroke. Among acute
ischemic stroke patients, our primary objectives were to describe the prevalence of sleep …

Sleep apnea affects more than half of patients with acute ischemic stroke and is associated
with poor stroke outcome. This pilot study assessed the feasibility of a randomized, sham …

Background and Purpose—Sleep-related breathing disorders occur frequently after stroke.
We assessed the feasibility of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment …
