Sleep machine tested to fight scarred lungs
NCT ID NCT05359965
Summary
This study looked at whether using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea could also help reduce abnormal acid reflux and lung inflammation in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a serious lung-scarring disease. Participants with both IPF and sleep apnea were randomly assigned to either use CPAP or not for 4-8 weeks. Researchers measured acid levels and blood markers of inflammation before and after to see if CPAP made a difference.
