Filter by:Study to assess the prevalence of central sleep apnea in patients with heart failure with reduced or mildly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF <50%) followed by case-control study to assess the link between central sleep apnea and cognitive function
This observational study aims to evaluate multiple dimensions of health in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS), before and after three weeks of ventilotherapy. Specifically, the study aims to identify pre- vs post-treatment differences in the following domains: - cognitive performance - blood expression of biomarkers related to neurodegeneration - psychosocial wellbeing Thus, patients will complete the following evaluations before (T0) and after (T1) ventilotherapy: - neuropsychological standard assessment - blood sampling - psychosocial self-reported questionnaires
This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 4 weeks of study supplement N-acetylcysteine (NAC) versus placebo in persons with significant obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are receiving positive airway pressure therapy (PAP), the standard of care therapy. The purpose of the study is to determine if NAC is associated with sex-specific changes in overnight oxidative stress, inflammation, as well as endothelial dysfunction in persons with OSA.
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of conventional oxygen therapy oxygen and high-flow nasal cannula therapy on oxygen saturation (SpO2), measuring number of SpO2 drop >4% of base line oxygen saturation (o2 desaturation index), length of the ICU stay, and the need of use supplemental continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) support in any of the study groups in the postoperative ICU setting.
This study will recruit 66 patients with obstructive sleep apnea, comprising 33 men and 33 women, who have been referred to the sleep center by their doctors for polysomnograms (PSG). The subjects will undergo two overnight sleep PSG sessions at the sleep center. The interval between the two examinations will be at least 7 days, during which they will receive both a placebo and medication conditions, administered 1 hour before bedtime. The study drugs will include: (1) atomoxetine 80 mg and oxybutynin 5 mg; or (2) venlafaxine 37.5 mg; or (3) atomoxetine 80 mg and trazodone 100 mg. Endotypic traits will be estimated using the Phenotyping Using Polysomnography method. The primary outcome is the change in apnea-hypopnea index, and secondary outcomes include endotypic traits and sleep parameters.
This study included 90 volunteer Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome patients. Only 7 mL blood samples collected from patients. Some biochemicals parameters analyzed in blood serum/plasma.
The study will be conducted to evaluate the outcome of expansion palatoplasty in management of OSAS.
This proof-of-concept study is being performed to evaluate whether the hypoglossal nerve can be stimulated using a small series of electrodes placed surgically via a percutaneous approach. Minimally invasive off the shelf medical devices will be used and observation of the characteristic physiological responses to stimulation of the HGN, will be assessed.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of stellate ganglion block in Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The main question it aims to answer are: • Can stellate ganglion block improve Obstructive Sleep Apnea? Patients were randomly divided into two groups, all provided with routine therapy. Based on this, the experimental group was given stellate ganglion block. The video fluoroscopic swallowing study was done to test the swallowing function before and after the study.
