JCSM: CPAP therapy improves symptoms of depression in OSA patients
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who also suffer from depression often find that continued use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) relieves them of symptoms of depression, according to a study published in the October 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine (JCSM). view more (2007-10-15)
Men who work with their female partners more likely to adhere to CPAP therapy
Men who work with their female partners while receiving continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are more likely to adhere to their treatment. view more (2009-06-08)
New research helps overcome major CPAP problem
For the first time, a group based cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) intervention has been demonstrated to markedly increase acceptance and adherence to CPAP treatment for sufferers of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). view more (2007-05-14)
2-week course of sleep aid increases CPAP adherence in OSA patients at 6 months
New research suggests that patients newly diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who use a short-course of the sleep aid, eszopiclone, when beginning continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, are more adherent with therapy in six months. view more (2009-05-18)
Benefits from upper airway surgery for sleep apnea found to equal CPAP
Adults who struggle with CPAP treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) should be considered candidates for reconstructive surgery on the upper airway, because it holds the same quality-of-life (QOL) benefits but with more permanence. view more (2009-08-03)
CPAP improves sleep in patients with Alzheimer's disease, sleep-related breathing disorder
Patients with both Alzheimer disease and a sleep-related breathing disorder (SRBD) experience disrupted sleep, resulting in increased nocturnal awakenings and a decreased percentage of REM sleep. view more (2007-06-11)
Treating sleep disorders would reduce risk of serious motor vehicle crashes
Sleep related accidents comprise 15-20% of all motor vehicle crashes, resulting in thousands of serious injuries and death. Yet a study published in Thorax confirms that treatment of patients with sleep apnoea would reduce their risk of serious motor vehicle crashes to a rate similar to the general driving population. Over 200 patients with... view more... (2001-06-14)
Educating OSA patients about CPAP critical to successful treatment
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic condition in which enhancement of patient self-efficacy is critical for long-term management. view more (2007-06-13)
Low-income patients with obstructive sleep apnea are less likely to start CPAP therapy
A study in the April 1 issue of the journal SLEEP demonstrates that low socioeconomic status independently predicts the poor acceptance of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea, and patients with higher incomes are more likely to begin treatment. view more (2009-04-01)
Problem solving and coping styles related to CPAP adherence
According to a research abstract that will be presented on Monday, June 8, at SLEEP 2009, the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, active problem solving strategies are associated with successful use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). view more (2009-06-08)
Patients treated for OSA at an AASM accredited sleep center more likely to adhere to CPAP
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major public health problem that, if untreated, can be deadly. Despite the proven reliability of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in treating OSA, resistance and intolerance to CPAP poses limitations to its use. view more (2007-06-12)
Complaints of fatigue and tiredness in people with OSA improve with CPAP treatment
A study in the June 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine shows that the complaints of fatigue and tiredness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) improved significantly with good adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, suggesting that - like the symptom of excessive daytime sleepiness - these... view more...

CPAP treatment linked to lower mortality in stroke patients with OSA
Stroke patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who undergo treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) following their stroke may substantially reduce their risk of death. view more (2009-06-26)
Treatment at an AASM accredited sleep center improves long-term CPAP compliance
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients are more likely to comply with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for longer periods of time if they receive their treatment from a sleep center accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). view more (2008-06-10)
New study in the journal Sleep finds that catathrenia can be successfully treated with CPAP
Catathrenia, or sleep related groaning, is an uncommon feature of a sleep-related breathing disorder that can be successfully treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). view more (2008-01-02)
Husbands with OSA are more likely to adhere to CPAP if their wives share the bed
Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) controls a husband's sleep-related obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) symptoms, his treatment adherence is strongly related to his wife sharing the bed, according to a study published in the April 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine (JCSM). view more (2008-04-15)
Mayo clinic discovers new type of sleep apnea
Researchers at Mayo Clinic have identified a new type of sleep apnea they call "complex sleep apnea." The findings will be published in the September issue of the journal Sleep. view more (2006-09-01)
Undiagnosed OSA patients have altered cardiovascular responses during exercise recovery
A study published in the January 1 issue of the journal SLEEP finds that people with untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have altered cardiovascular responses during recovery from maximal exercise. view more (2008-01-02)
Longer Treatment Benefits Sleep Apnea Patients
Adults with obstructive sleep apnea benefit significantly from longer nightly use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a device to improve breathing during sleep. view more (2007-06-08)
