SCOUTS 3 Study: CPAP Support for Stroke Patients with Sleep Apnea

The SCOUTS 3 study is looking at how well an intensive support program for CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy works for stroke patients who also have OSA (obstructive sleep apnea). CPAP is a treatment that uses a machine to help you breathe more easily during sleep. This study compares an intensive support program, which includes help with your CPAP device, technical support, monthly phone calls, a self-tracking app (myAir), and tailored text messages, to standard care. The goal is to see if this extra support helps people use their CPAP more consistently. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have had a recent stroke (within 30 days), and can consent in English or Spanish. The study aims to enroll about 250 participants.

Study design
This is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the intensive CPAP support or standard care. About 250 participants will be recruited across two rehabilitation centers.
What's involved
If you join, you will be started on an automatically-adjusting CPAP device. You will receive mask selection and fitting, ongoing troubleshooting, and training on CPAP use. You will also get monthly phone calls, help with the myAir app, and tailored text messages. Both groups will use CPAP for a 3-month period.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
CPAP adherence will be measured at 3 months, indicating a follow-up period of at least that long.

What this trial measures

  • CPAP Adherence3 months

    Average nightly minutes of CPAP use over the 90-day period is passively transmitted from a modem in each CPAP device via cellular service and securely accessed via the ResMed program, AirView. Alternatively, data cards can be obtained and downloaded.
