Article Synopsis
- A 39-year-old man with a complex medical history experienced sleep-related painful erections for two years, a rare condition with limited treatment options.
- Despite trying multiple therapies like baclofen and pelvic physiotherapy, he found little relief until starting sodium oxybate, an off-label treatment.
- Sodium oxybate has proven effective in managing his symptoms, highlighting its potential as a new therapy for this challenging disorder that needs further research.
Study Objectives: To evaluate for potential interactions between magnetic positive airway pressure (mPAP) masks and cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) for patients with sleep apnea.
Methods: Adult patients with a CIED who used an mPAP mask were recruited from our sleep clinic to undergo a safety visit at our pacemaker clinic. We tested whether the mPAP interacted with the implanted device at home during normal use and in the clinic during simulated normal use and with direct contact.
