Study Summary

The purpose of this trial is to work out design issues prior to conducting a definitive phase 3 trial to determine whether treating sleep-related breathing disorders in people with epilepsy results in improvement in seizure control or an improvement in alertness during the day.

Primary Outcome

The standard unit of measurement is proportion of nights that the CPAP is used by a participant (total nights used/total nights the device could have been used), averaged across all participants . Data were downloaded by a card placed in the CPAP machine reflecting use over the entire 10 weeks.

Interventions
