Sleep for Stroke Management and Recovery Trial is a study to see if treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with a device that helps you breathe better can help people recover after a stroke. An ischemic stroke happens when blood flow to the brain is blocked. The study will check if this treatment can reduce the chances of having another stroke or heart problem within six months, and if it helps improve recovery in three months.

The study will involve 3062 participants over five years, and it is happening in 110 locations. Participants must have had an ischemic stroke within the last seven days and meet certain health conditions. People who have difficulty with daily activities, are pregnant, or have certain medical conditions can't join.

• Study lasts for 6 months, with regular check-ups.
• Participants will use a device to help with breathing at night.
• Potential benefits include fewer heart problems and better recovery.
