The PAP-NAP one decade later: patient risk factors, indications, and clinically relevant emotional and motivational influences on PAP use.

CONCLUSION: PAP-NAP was associated with a sizeable proportion of highly reluctant patients proceeding to titrations they initially had rejected, and the majority achieved PAP user status. Improvements in emotional aversion and motivation were associated with increased PAP use. Randomized control trials must assess the experiential component at the core of the PAP-NAP procedure and its efficacy in reversing early PAP rejecters.
