TL;DR: The available evidence supports the notion that CPAP is an effective symptomatic treatment for patients with the sleep apneahypopnea syndrome, and a multicenter randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study was designed to evaluate the short-term effects of CPAP on quality of life, objective sleepiness, cognitive function, and arterial blood pressure in nonsleepy patients with a pathologic apnehypopna index.
