Obstructive sleep apnoea phenotypes and treatment in quadriplegia

受伤后失去手臂和腿的功能（四肢瘫痪）是一个灾难性的事件。四肢瘫痪还导致阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停;一种在睡眠时喉咙反复关闭的情况，导致嗜睡，注意力不集中和中风等心血管疾病。尽管大多数四肢瘫痪的人都患有这种疾病，但原因尚不清楚。该项目将彻底调查四肢瘫痪患者阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的原因，并测试可能的治疗方法

Losing function in your arms and legs after an injury (quadriplegia) is a catastrophic event. Quadriplegia also results in obstructive sleep apnoea; a condition where the throat closes repeatedly while asleep causing sleepiness, poor concentration and cardiovascular diseases like stroke. Despite most people with quadriplegia having this disease, the cause is unknown. This project will thoroughly investigate obstructive sleep apnoea causes in people with quadriplegia and test a possible treatment
