Summary

This study tests whether extra support—like personalized mask fitting, monthly phone calls, and a tracking app—helps stroke patients with sleep apnea use their CPAP machine more consistently during rehab. About 250 participants will be randomly assigned to either this intensive support or standard care. The goal is to see if better CPAP use leads to improved stroke recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: CPAP device and behavioral support program
What this could lead to: If successful, this program could help stroke patients with sleep apnea use CPAP more regularly, potentially improving their recovery and daily function.
What could go wrong: This is a mid-stage trial with 250 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke patients. The intervention is behavioral, so individual motivation and comfort with CPAP may limit effectiveness.
