Filter by:The research plan to enroll 15 simple snoring patients (apnea/hypopnea <5, control group), 30 severe OSA patients (apnea/hypopnea >30, treatment group), and 15 mild cognitive impairment patients (comparative group). All patients complete Mini-Mental State Examination, peripheral blood sample for plasma Aβ42, Aβ40, Aβ42/Aβ40, Tau, NfL; amyloid deposit in18F-florbetapir PET; and Taiwan smell identification test. Thirty severe OSA patients (AHI>30, treatment group) receive comprehensive upper airway surgery with/without bariatric surgery and repeat postoperative assessment in polysomnography and aforementioned examinations 1 year later.
The main objective of this study is to provide an adequately powered study that would provide evidence on the non-inferiority of ANNE to a Home Sleep Test (HST).
Identify the relationship of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) prevalence with post-COVID-19 fatigue that remains at least six months after acute disease
This double-blind placebo-controlled parallel group randomized study design will be used to test whether 4 weeks of atorvastatin 10 mg daily reduces levels of inflammatory markers in OSA patients treated with CPAP (standard of care). The purpose of this study is to investigate: 1) whether statins reduce endothelial inflammation and pro-thrombotic conditions in OSA, including in patients adherent to CPAP (Aim 1); and 2) whether statins reduce endothelial inflammation and pro-thrombotic conditions by improving endothelial cholesterol metabolism and trafficking in OSA (Aim 2).
The objectives of this study are: - To assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a vibrating positional device (NightBalance, Philips) in the treatment of positional obstructive sleep apnea compared to conventional CPAP treatment. - To investigate whether a positional device (NightBalance, Philips) avoids supine position after a period of use of the device without actively using the device for a subsequent period of time.
Sleep apnea is a common under-diagnosed medical disorder, and moderate to severe disease is found in approximately 9% of men and 4% of women. The disease is characterized by repetitive collapse of the airway during sleep, causing sleep disruption, episodic low oxygen levels, and daytime sleepiness. Also, patients with sleep apnea are at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease (including strokes and heart attacks). Partly, this is because the episodic low oxygen levels followed by higher oxygen levels due to sleep apnea results in the generation of reactive oxygen species (unstable and potentially toxic substances caused by interactions with oxygen) and a state of "oxidative stress." Oxidative stress is an important contributing factor to heart disease. We are interested in determining whether treatment with antioxidants, which are substances that help reduce oxidative stress, helps cardiovascular health in patients with sleep apnea. Specifically, we want to determine whether treatment improves blood vessel function (an early sign of heart disease), and blood/urine markers of cardiac risk (i.e., inflammation and oxidative stress). Eighty adult patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea will be asked to participate. They will have their blood vessel function measured with a non-invasive finger probe, and blood/urine will be collected to measure the cardiac risk markers. Patients will then be 'randomized' to one of two groups: 50% chance that the patient will be asked to take an antioxidant, and a 50% chance that they will be asked to take a placebo tablet (though he/she will not know which one they are taking). After 8 weeks, blood vessel function and markers will be remeasured to determine if antioxidants help patients with sleep apnea.
Compliance of continuous positive airway pressure （CPAP） derived from auto-titration is similar to that derived from manual titration, although pressure derived from the former was usually 2-5 cmH2O higher than the latter. Therefore the Investigators hypothesize that accurate titration maybe not necessary for successful treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as long as CPAP pressure was not lower than the minimal effective pressure.
ARCTIC-1 is a safety and dosing study to evaluate procedure tolerability in patients with clinically diagnosed moderate or severe OSA.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the ANNE Sleep system for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults
This is a single group, unblinded, prospective clinical study. This study seeks to understand patient diagnostic and treatment journey and positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy compliance for Verily Sleep Apnea (VSA) program/app users. Participants will enroll remotely and may undergo a home sleep test (HST). Upon confirmation of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and prescription of PAP therapy, the participant will begin using the VSA app to supplement PAP treatment. After 90 days of active participation, the participant will be given instructions for follow-up care, as indicated.
