Research Begins on Patients with Sleep Apnea

Research Begins on Patients with Sleep Apnea Posted on: 2008-03-28 | by Sleep Center Research to begin examining symptoms of anxiety in patients with obstructive sleep apnea An exciting new research project is starting at the Sleep Centers of Middle Tennessee examining symptoms

of anxiety in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The project is the result of efforts between the Sleep

Centers of Middle Tennessee and Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). Some patients with

obstructive sleep apnea report significant symptoms of anxiety prior to treating their sleep apnea. Anecdotal

evidence has shown that patients symptoms of anxiety improve markedly once their obstructive sleep

apnea is effectively treated. Little research has been done in this area to date.
