Nuestro Sueno: Improving Sleep Apnea Treatment for Latino Couples

This study, called Nuestro Sueno, is looking at a new couples-based treatment to help Latino individuals with sleep apnea use their positive airway pressure (PAP) machine more consistently. PAP is a common treatment for sleep apnea. The study also wants to see if this treatment improves sleep quality for both the patient and their partner, and if it helps with overall quality of life and memory. You may be able to join if you are of Latino ethnicity, over 35, have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are starting PAP treatment, have never used PAP before or are restarting after 3 months, and are married or cohabiting with a romantic partner for over a year. The study aims to enroll 80 participants. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 80 participants. It compares a couples-based behavioral treatment delivered via telehealth to an information-only control group.
What's involved
Couples in the treatment group will attend three telehealth sessions. The study will assess outcomes over the first three months of PAP use.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Recruitment feasibility will be measured at 36 months, but specific participant follow-up duration after treatment is not detailed.
