Sleep machine tested to tame dangerous nighttime blood pressure spikes

NCT ID NCT03312556

Summary

This study is testing if a CPAP machine, commonly used for sleep apnea, can safely lower high blood pressure that occurs when lying down in people with autonomic failure. Researchers will measure blood pressure changes in 12 participants while using different CPAP pressure levels. The goal is to find a non-drug option to manage this common and risky symptom that complicates treatment.
