Brief Summary:
A problem with breathing during sleep, called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), likely increases the risk of stroke and is common in people who have had a stroke, present in about 2/3 of stroke survivors. There is also evidence that OSA predicts worse outcome after stroke. The question being addressed in the Stroke and CPAP Outcome Study 3 (SCOUTS3) is how to improve use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy to treat OSA when started during intensive stroke rehabilitation.
Detailed Description:
In an initial single-arm study, participants with stroke will be tested for OSA and treated with auto-titrating CPAP during inpatient stroke rehabilitation and continued for a 3-month treatment period. Multiple behavioral interventions will be used to improve CPAP use, including intensive CPAP technical support, motivational enhancement therapy, and phone and mobile health automated support. The multicomponent behavioral intervention will be optimized to improve CPAP adherence with the engagement and input of stroke survivors.
