Summary
This single arm clinical trial will assess whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in the management of moderate-to-severe sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) among para-athletes living with cervical/thoracic, complete or incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) is effective in improving cognitive impairment, in reducing fatigue, depression, anxiety, and overall quality of life. Further, the study will evaluate the effectiveness of CPAP therapy in improving their performance in sports and the perceived risk of injuries.
Detailed description
Untreated moderate-to-severe SRBDs are associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart attack, diabetes, and kidney problems. For para-athletes living with SCI, it can have a major negative impact on their performance when practicing and playing sports. CPAP therapy is the treatment of choice for moderate-to-severe SRBD (or sleep apnea) in accordance with current good medical practices. Therefore, the aim of the study is to determine whether CPAP therapy in para-athletes living with SCI who developed moderate-to-severe SRBDs is effective in improving memory, psychosocial implications, social and work participation, and performance in sports.
