3.	Sleep Apnea Syndromes (Sleep Apnea) 09/01/1999 - "Previous studies on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment usually reported significant improvement in mood symptoms in patients with sleep apnea, but most of them did not consider the placebo effect of CPAP" 03/01/1992 - "Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was the treatment most often used by severe sleep apnea patients, and this improved daytime alertness in 84% of the patients" 10/01/1993 - "Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has proven to be a safe, effective treatment for sleep apnea patients" 03/01/2000 - "RESULTS: Mean reported educational level was grade 12, and mean reading level was between grade 7 and 8. Using video significantly improved only two areas of knowledge for low-level (below grade 8) readers: defining sleep apnea (66% vs 43%) and identifying what continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) does for the patient (94% vs 78%)" 06/01/1997 - "Sleep apnea with neuromuscular disorders has been successfully treated with bi-level positive airway pressure ventilation (BiPAP), which, unlike continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (CPAP), creates pressure difference between expiratory and inspiratory phases" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
