Summary

This study tests whether an intensive support program helps stroke patients with obstructive sleep apnea use their CPAP machine more regularly during inpatient rehabilitation. About 250 participants will be randomly assigned to either the intensive support group or standard care. The goal is to see if better CPAP use leads to improved stroke recovery.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that intensive CPAP support helps stroke patients use their therapy more consistently, potentially improving their recovery.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage trial focused on adherence, not a direct test of a new drug or cure. Results may not apply to all stroke patients, and CPAP can be uncomfortable for some.
