NCT00952211

Brief Summary

There are two purposes of this study. The first purpose is to define the frequency of obstructive sleep apnea in stroke survivors as well as its association with fatigue and quality of life. The second purpose is to determine if continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) treatment can have a beneficial effect on these patients' fatigue and quality of life.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Profile of Mood States (POMS) - Fatigue Subscale

    POMS fatigue subscale: 7 items; range 0-28; higher score indicates worse symptoms, i.e., more fatigue

    10 days after beginning CPAP treatment

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HADS) Scale -Depression Subscale

    10 days after beginning CPAP treatment

Study Arms (2)

CPAP

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

CPAP at therapeutic pressure

Device: CPAP

sub-therapeutic CPAP

SHAM COMPARATOR

CPAP administered at sub-therapeutic pressure

Device: CPAP at sub-therapeutic pressure

Interventions

CPAPDEVICE

CPAP at therapeutic pressure during nighttime

CPAP

CPAP delivered at sub-therapeutic pressure at nighttime

sub-therapeutic CPAP
