Hospital studies new drug for sleep apnea patients
Northside Hospital's
Sleep Medicine Institute is the only sleep center in
Georgia selected to study the effects of Provigil, an FDA
approved medication used to treat other sleep disorders,
for improving alertness in sleep apnea patients using
nasal continuous positive airway pressure.
Adults 18
to 65 who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are
still sleepy, despite being treated with CPAP are
eligible for the study. All evaluations - including
laboratory, medical exams, sleep studies and treatment
- will be performed at no cost to participants. For
information, call the study coordinator, Tim Richardson,
at 404-851-9934.
