Sleep for Stroke Management And Recovery Trial (Sleep SMART)

Brief description of study

The purpose of the study is to examine if continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment may improve outcomes after stroke. CPAP might improve your physical recovery, ability to speak, your thinking, and any other symptom you have from your stroke. It also may help prevent another stroke, or help prevent a heart attack or death. Although we have many reasons to think that CPAP might help you, no study has truly answered the question: does CPAP treatment have a good, bad, or no effect on stroke recovery or stroke prevention? This research study is designed to test whether people with recent stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) benefit from CPAP.
