One study looked at the effect of the drug on people who were both unwilling or unable to use positive airway pressure therapy, a machine that will pump pressurized air into a person's airway to keep it open and prevent breathing problems while they sleep. People who use the machine must wear a mask or use a nosepiece and some people find it difficult to sleep with the device. The other study looked at a group who used or planned to continue to use the PAP machine.
