Sleeping pill could be key to fixing common sleep apnea treatment problem

NCT ID NCT05951023

Summary

This study tested if a prescription sleep aid (eszopiclone) could help people with obstructive sleep apnea use their CPAP machine more consistently. It involved 42 adults who were already using CPAP but only for part of the night. The goal was to see if the medication, by helping them sleep more soundly, would make them more likely to keep the CPAP mask on longer.
