NCT ID NCT04868682
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a behavioral program to help older veterans with obstructive sleep apnea use their positive airway pressure (PAP) machine more consistently. About 100 veterans who had stopped using their PAP device worked with a sleep coach over several sessions. The goal was to see if this support could improve sleep, daytime alertness, and quality of life.
