Primary Endpoint & Quantitative Summary (Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD, 2020-01-15; N = 1926; Rigor 94/100): Therefore, our meta-analysis indicates that CPAP treatment can partially improve cognitive impairment in the population of severe OSA.

Study Limitations & Caveats Before You Act

Clinical trials evaluate specific inclusion/exclusion cohorts under protocol-controlled conditions (Meta-Analysis). Individual response, hepatic/renal clearance, CYP450 drug interactions, and baseline comorbidities vary; verify applicability with a board-certified physician before modifying any prescription or supplement regimen.
