CPAP for Sleep Apnea in Pregnancy
This study is looking at whether treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during pregnancy with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) can lower the risk of developing high blood pressure conditions like preeclampsia. Researchers will compare CPAP treatment, which involves a device worn during sleep, to receiving only sleep advice. They want to see if CPAP reduces the number of women who develop high blood pressure disorders of pregnancy. You may be able to join if you are a woman, 18 years or older, and are between 14 and 21 weeks pregnant with one baby. The study aims to enroll 1,500 women. The current status of the study is unclear.
