PAP Therapy Sleep Apnea and Exercise

Completed

• Conditions: Obstructive Sleep Apnea

• Registration Number: NCT01786291
• Lead Sponsor: University of Gaziantep

Brief Summary

Positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is generally offered to patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The investigators suggest that beneficial effects of PAP therapy is by preventing apneas and therefore reducing cardiac and pulmonary morbidities. The investigators sought to verify this by assessing cardiac and pulmonary function during exercise.
