Abstract:Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy improves clinical symptoms in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA); however, the mechanism of this clinical improvement and how it may be associated with the restoration of white matter (WM) structures in the brain is unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between the structural recovery of brain WM and improvements in cognitive function and emotion after long-term (12 months) CPAP treatment in patients with OSA. Methods: We collec… Show more
