Psychosocial, Cognitive, and Behavioral Consequences of Sleep-disordered Breathing After SCI

Study Description
Brief Summary:
This clinical trial will examine the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in improving psychosocial, neurocognitive and behavioral consequences of moderate-to-severe sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) in people living with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Spinal Cord Injuries Sleep Apnea Other: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

SCI is a potentially catastrophic event for individuals who may sustain motor, sensory, and autonomic deficit, as well as secondary conditions including SRBDs. The SRBDs include central, obstructive and mixed sleep apnea that can occur in up to 50% of the paraplegics and up to 91% of the motor complete tetraplegics. Although the frequency of SRBDs after SCI is much greater than in able-bodied people, this condition is still a largely under-recognized in the SCI population.

With this, the investigators hypothesize that regular use of CPAP for treatment of moderate-to-severe SRBDs in individuals living with SCI significantly improve their fatigue, depressive symptoms, anxiety, cognitive impairment, quality of life, and social and work participation. This research project will include: (i) a single-arm clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of nightly use of CPAP for 4 consecutive months in the management of moderate-to-severe SRBDs among 24 adults with subacute to chronic, cervical or thoracic, complete or incomplete SCI; and (ii) a qualitative study of the challenges experienced by the 24 people with SCI who undergo an unattended-hospital or home-based sleep study for diagnosis of SRBDs followed by CPAP therapy.

Overall, this clinical study has the potential to ultimately improve fatigue, mood, cognition, quality of life, and social and work participation of people living with SCI, by examining under-explored links with the SRBDs.

Allocation: N/A
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment

Estimated Primary Completion Date : September 26, 2021
Estimated Study Completion Date : September 26, 2021
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
CPAP-therapy arm
This single-arm clinical trial will examine the effects of 4-month period CPAP therapy in individuals living with SCI. The CPAP will be adjusted according to the results of the auto-titrating CPAP testing for each participant.
Other: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy
The participants will undergo CPAP therapy for 4 consecutive months in the management of moderate-to-severe SRBDs

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Fatigue Severity Scale [ Time Frame: Change in Fatigue Severity Scale from baseline to after 4-month period of CPAP therapy ]
    Self-reported (or administered by an interviewer) scale where participants choose one of seven levels of agreement for each question. Range from 9 (best outcome) to 63 (worst outcome). The primary outcome is the difference between post-intervention and pre-intervention Fatigue Severity Scales.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Epworth Sleepiness Score [ Time Frame: Change in Epworth Sleepiness Score from baseline to after 4-month period of CPAP therapy ]
    Self-reported (or administered by an interviewer) where participants answer the 8 brief questions. Range from 0 (best outcome) to 24 (worst outcome). This secondary outcome comprises the difference between post-intervention and pre-intervention Epworth sleepiness scores.

  2. Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale [ Time Frame: Change in Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale from baseline to after 4-month period of CPAP therapy ]
    Self-reported scale that consists of 12 Likert-type items assessing six dimensions of sleep problems: sleep disturbance (i.e. difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep), snoring, respiratory problems, sleep quantity, sleep adequacy, and daytime somnolence). Higher scores for the domains of sleep disturbance, somnolence and sleep indices indicate worse sleep disturbances, whereas lower scores for sleep quantity and sleep adequacy indicate worse sleep disturbances.

  3. Depression, Anxiety & Stress Scales- 21 [ Time Frame: Change in Depression, Anxiety & Stress Scales- 21 from baseline to after 4-month period of CPAP therapy ]
    Self-reported (or administered by an interviewer) scale where participants rate questions on depression, anxiety and stress. Depression subscale varies from 0 (best outcome) to 21 (worst outcome). Anxiety subscale varies from 0 (best outcome) to 21 (worst outcome). Stress subscale varies from 0 (best outcome) to 21 (worst outcome). This secondary outcome comprises the difference in the overall pre-intervention and post-intervention DASS-21 scores.

  4. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test [ Time Frame: Change in Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score from baseline to after 4-month period of CPAP therapy ]
    Cognitive test administered by an interviewer.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Face-to-face, 1-hour interview for qualitative analysis [ Time Frame: At completion of the 4-month period of CPAP therapy ]
    Qualitative study of the challenges experienced by the 24 people with SCI who undergo an unattended-hospital or home-based sleep study for diagnosis of SRBDs followed by CPAP therapy.
