CPAP treats muscle cramps in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
We describe a case series of 4 patients with varying degrees of obstructive sleep apnea who incidentally had a history of nocturnal leg cramps. None of the patients had periodic limb movements during the study and denied symptoms consistent with restless legs syndrome. In 3 of the 4 patients, nocturnal leg cramps resolved with CPAP treatment for OSA, while the fourth patient noted near-resoluti...
متن کاملTreatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea with CPAP
pine therapy (0.4 mg, three times daily) had no effect on the bronchorrhea. Radiation therapy (3,000 rads) was delivered to the left lung and mediastinum in ten fractions over two weeks and was of striking and immediate benefit in reducing his bronchorrhea; there was a marked reduction in his sputum production by the end of the first week of radiation therapy and almost total amelioration at co...
متن کاملCPAP adherence of patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
BACKGROUND Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and bi-level positive airway pressure (BPAP) are the gold standard treatments for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), but CPAP/BPAP is not well tolerated and requires long-term follow-up. OBJECTIVE We prospectively assessed subjective and objective adherence and factors that affect adherence in OSAS patients. METHODS Subjects using ...
متن کاملCPAP versus oxygen in obstructive sleep apnea.
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with hypertension, inflammation, and increased cardiovascular risk. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces blood pressure, but adherence is often suboptimal, and the benefit beyond management of conventional risk factors is uncertain. Since intermittent hypoxemia may underlie cardiovascular sequelae of sleep apnea, we evaluated the ef...
متن کاملMandible Behavior in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients Under CPAP Treatment
Aim: To investigate whether obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients present different behaviors of mandible movements before and under CPAP therapy. Materials and Methodology: In this retrospective study, patients were selected according to inclusion criteria: both the diagnostic polysomnography recording showing an OSA with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) greater than 25 (n/h) and the related CPA...
