Sustained use of CPAP slows deterioration of cognition, sleep, and mood in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and obstructive sleep apnea: a preliminary study
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common among patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Untreated OSA exacerbates the cognitive and functional deficits. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has recently been shown to have beneficial effects on cognition in AD. Little attention has focused on the long-term benefits of CPAP in these patients.; Methods: This was an […]

Continuous positive airway pressure deepens sleep in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and obstructive sleep apnea
Objective: Patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) experience disrupted sleep. This study examined the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on sleep parameters in AD patients with OSA.; Methods: A randomized placebo-controlled trial of 3 weeks of therapeutic CPAP (tCPAP) vs. 3 weeks placebo CPAP (pCPAP) followed by 3 weeks […]

Treatment of sleep apnoea syndrome decreases cognitive decline in patients with Alzheimer’s disease
Background: It is essential to detect and then treat factors that aggravate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Here, we sought to determine whether or not continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS) slows the rate of cognitive decline in mild-to-moderate AD patients.; Methods: Between January 2003 and June 2011, we included consecutive, mild-to-moderate […]
