View clinical trials related to Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome.
Filter by:Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is thought to lead to systemic vascular lesions that may be preceded by early microvascular lesions in the eyes and in particular in the retina. The improvement of ophthalmological imaging techniques by OCTangiography allows a precise non-invasive study of the retinal microvascular network. This new rapid and non-invasive retinal imaging tool could reveal micro-vascular lesions related to OSA. To the investigator's knowledge, this would be the first OCT-angiography description of a cohort of patients with OSA. If these results are confirmed, it would be interesting to study the correlation between these micro-vascular lesions and the cardiovascular risk of his patients.
This early phase I trial studies how well the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine works in treating obstructive sleep apnea in patients with polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia. Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition where a person stops breathing during sleep, and is estimated to affect 30 to 50 percent of patients with polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia. A patient with obstructive sleep apnea typically snores, has disrupted sleep, experiences morning headaches, and has daytime sleepiness. Patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea are typically treated with a device called CPAP. The CPAP provides pressurized air that keeps upper air passages open during sleep and may prevent them from narrowing or collapsing as occurs during snoring or sleep apnea.
This study will investigate the effectiveness of a simple and quick myofunctional reeducation protocol of the tongue in reducing the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) severity.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard to normalize breathing during sleep in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrom (OSA). Many patients will not tolerate or will not accept CPAP. Implanted nerve stimulation is a novel therapy for OSA patients that restores the upper airway potency using unilateral XII nerve electric stimulation. The principal objective of this study is short-term efficacy of a new treatment for OSA on blood pressure variability during sleep.
The primary aim of this study is to research the effect of intubation without muscle relaxant on post-operative recovery conditions in patients with OSAS (obstructive sleep apnea syndrome). Our secondary aim is to research the hemodynamic parameters in intraoperative period and complications such as sore throat and laryngospasm voice limitation in the postoperative period.
This study evaluated the influence of the sleep bruxism (SB), awake bruxism (AB) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on the signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
The aim of the study is to evaluate the value of a video recording of the child sleep on smartphone made by the parents and comparing it to ventilatory polygraphy (PV) on the one hand and to the clinical evaluation method (clinical examination + Spruyt and Gozal score) on the other hand.
The oral appliances (OAs) are considered to be an effective treatment modality for snoring and various forms of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). They facilitate the displacement of the mandible anteriorly and widen the upper airway during sleep. Lateral cephalometry has been used for the two-dimensional evaluation of upper airway form with several limits.The purpose of present study is to investigate an accurate three-dimensional (3D) volume analyses with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans to confirm the effects of OAs on the upper airway in patients with OSAS.The investigators aim to enroll twenty-four patients with mild,moderate or severe OSAS, intolerant to continuous positive air pressure therapy and rejection a surgical approach,who will be treated with adjustable customized OAs and evaluated with CBCT and polysomnography. Upper airway form was examined and the volume was measured in two different areas. Specific planes have been considered to match the data and calculate the benefit obtained with therapy.
Presently, there isn't any international recommendation to evaluate vigilance in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome. The French Society of Sleep Research and Medicine (SFRMS) recommend evaluating professional driver with a MWT but no recommendation exists for other patients. After a minimal treatment of 4 weeks, the physician has to evaluate the drowsiness risk of these patients using either an objective test like the MWT or a subjective one. In the university hospital Amiens-Picardie, since the 01/01/2015, every patient with an Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome diagnosed by a polysomnography or a ventilatory polygraphy had a MWT after 4 weeks of treatment. At each time of the evaluation, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, tiredness score of Pichot, and depressive score of Beck are performed.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent breathing disorder in sleep. We have aimed to evaluate the relationship between OSA and prolidase activity, the oxidative stress index (OSI), total antioxidative capacity (TAC), and total oxidative capacity (TOC) and the relationship between carotid intima media thickness (CIMT).
