Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Chronic SCI: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Treatment Impact on Cognition, Quality of Life, and Cardiovascular Disease

Abstract

The impact of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and its treatment in chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) subjects is not well known. The central hypothesis of this study was that the treatment of SDB with positive airway pressure (PAP) will improve cognitive impairment, sleep quality, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) surrogate measures in persons with chronic SCI.
