Summary
This study tests whether breathing air with slightly higher carbon dioxide (hypercapnia) for two weeks can improve breathing and reduce sleep apnea in veterans with spinal cord injury. About 30 adults with chronic spinal cord injury or able-bodied people with sleep apnea will take part. The goal is to see if this simple treatment is practical and helps with respiratory symptoms.
