SCOUTS3 Trial Summary

This trial is studying how best to treat breathing problems during sleep (OSA) in stroke survivors to improve stroke outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who've had a recent stroke, confirmed by CT or MRI within the last 30 days. They must be able to give consent in English or Spanish. It's not for those with strokes from tumors, certain lung conditions, using sedatives that affect sleep tests, on mechanical breathing support, pregnant women, or anyone unable to use CPAP.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
SCOUTS3 aims to improve outcomes after stroke by increasing the effectiveness of CPAP therapy during intensive rehabilitation for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The study includes motivational enhancement and mobile health interventions alongside technical support for CPAP users.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
CPAP may cause discomfort like dry nose/mouth, nasal congestion, sore throat; MET and mobile health interventions are generally low-risk but could include minor psychological distress.

SCOUTS3 Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: SCOUTS3 Optimization ArmExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
In a single-arm study, participants from acute ischemic stroke or intraparenchymal hemorrhage within the past 30 days will be tested for OSA with a single-night portable OSA test during inpatient rehabilitation (IPR). Eligible participants will then be started on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy and exposed to a multicomponent CPAP adherence intervention, beginning during IPR and extending for 3 months. Participants' CPAP use will be monitored, and input regarding the intervention will be sought from the participants, CPAP partners, and the research team implementing the intervention. Data from an initial group of study participants will be reviewed in meetings with the study team and a patient advisory board, and adaptations will be devised and then implemented within the next batch of study participants. Through this iterative process that includes input from important stakeholders, the behavioral intervention will be adapted for use among stroke patients.
