This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is studying whether a breathing machine called CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) can help people who have had a stroke and also have a common sleep breathing condition. Many stroke patients have this breathing problem without knowing it, and it may make recovery harder. The study will see if starting CPAP treatment early — within the first few days after stroke — and continuing it for up to 2 years can improve how well people recover.
More than 70% of stroke patients have this sleep breathing condition, which is linked to poorer recovery and worse long-term outcomes. Doctors want to know if treating it with the breathing machine early can change that and help patients do better.

If you qualify, you will first have a sleep breathing test to see how severe your condition is. If you have severe breathing problems during sleep, you will be randomly assigned to either use the CPAP breathing machine or receive standard care without it. If assigned to the CPAP group, you will start using it within 48–72 hours of being admitted to the hospital and continue using it for up to 2 years. You will have follow-up visits and tests to track your recovery and how well the treatment is working.
