How sleep disordered breathing impacts posttrauma nightmares and rescripting therapies.

In conclusion, our results demonstrate that PNMs in the presence of SDB symptoms (complex PNMs) may differ in content than PNMs without comorbid SDB symptoms (isolated PNMs) and that SDB symptoms may interfere with the efficacy of rescripting focused therapies. Future research is needed to determine if there is truly a difference between complex PNMs and isolated PNMs and if types of nightmares (complex and isolated) fare better under different treatment options (continuous positive air pressure vs. rescripting focused therapies).
