The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) is working on a new clinical practice guideline about medications for people who still feel sleepy during the day even after being treated for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This guideline will help doctors treat this issue better and make sure patients get the best care possible.
The AASM wants to hear from you:
• What do you think about the medications for daytime sleepiness, even if you’ve been treated for OSA?
• What are your thoughts and preferences about treatment?
• How has your experience with daytime sleepiness been after treatment?
• What concerns do you have?
The AASM is looking for 2-3 volunteers to help with this project as patient representatives. If you are interested, please reach out! Your input will help make this guideline useful for both doctors and patients.
Who can volunteer?
• Patients who have been treated for OSA but still feel sleepy during the day.
What happens if I volunteer?
You’ll complete a short survey about your symptoms and the pros/cons of different treatments.
You’ll attend webinars to learn about how these guidelines are made.
You’ll join zoom calls with doctors and scientists who specialize in sleep apnea.
You’ll provide feedback on the guideline document.
You’ll spend about 14-18 hours over two years on this project.
Once the guideline is published, you’ll get a nice honorarium (payment) for your time and contributions.
