CPAP and Physiotherapy for Heart Failure and Sleep Apnea in the Elderly

Summary

This study evaluates whether adding physiotherapy (including herbal medicine, acupuncture, and Tuina massage) to standard continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy can provide superior benefits compared to CPAP alone for elderly patients suffering from both chronic heart failure (CHF) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This randomized controlled trial aims to determine the combined therapy's efficacy and safety in improving sleep quality, hypoxemia, and cardiac function.
