Spinal Cord Injuries Sleep Apnea | Other: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy | Not Applicable |
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.

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.

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.
