Article Synopsis
- Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common in multiple system atrophy (MSA) patients, and the research evaluated the immediate effects and safety of CPAP therapy for treating SDB.
- In a study of 63 MSA patients, CPAP therapy showed significant improvements such as normalization of apnea-hypopnea index, reduced arousal index, and increased REM sleep, with most patients tolerating the treatment well.
- Nonresponders to CPAP therapy tended to have more severe motor symptoms, indicating that the therapy is effective primarily in milder cases of motor impairment in MSA patients.
