  • Title: [Subjective well-being in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome before and after nCPAP therapy].
    Author: Hetzel C, Weess HG, Schröder A, Steinberg R.
    Journal: Wien Med Wochenschr; 1995; 145(17-18):510-1. PubMed ID: 8588390.
    Abstract:
    18 obstructive sleep apnea patients (mean time of nCPAP-treatment: 412 nights) were asked about their subjective well-being before therapy and under treatment with nCPAP. Also their wifes were asked to give an outer appraisal. Both groups reported a clear reduction of general well-being before therapy and significant improvements in excessive daytime sleepiness, depression, physical and psychical complaints and the rate of patients accidents under nCPAP. In context with a good compliance of therapy these results indicate that the nCPAP-treatment was subjectively experienced as effective.
