Filter by:The primary purpose of this randomized controlled trial s to investigate whether surgical reduction of palatine tonsils (tonsillotomy) is a superior treatment compared to complete surgical removal of palatine tonsils (tonsillectomy) in adults patients with obstructive sleep apnea and concomitant enlarged tonsils in regards of perioperative and postoperative morbidity.
The purpose of this study is to assess the site, pattern and degree of upper airway collapse before and during hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) treatment using clinical standard drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) and using a novel, non-invasive method predicting site of collapse from raw polysomnography (PSG) data. Furthermore, outcomes will be compared between responders and non-responders.
Obesity is a major risk factor for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), the most common sleep-disordered breathing related to neurocognitive and metabolic syndromes, type II diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Although strongly recommended for this condition, there are no studies on the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary weight loss and lifestyle intervention including nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, and smoking and alcohol cessation in women. INTERAPNEA-Women is a randomized controlled trial with a two-arm parallel design aimed at determining the effects of an interdisciplinary tailored weight loss and lifestyle intervention on OSA outcomes. The study will include 180 females aged 18-65 with a body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2 and severe to moderate OSA randomly assigned to usual care (i.e., continuous positive airway pressure), or interdisciplinary weight loss and lifestyle intervention combined with usual care. Outcomes will be measured at baseline, intervention end-point, and six-month post-intervention, including apnoea-hypopnoea index (primary outcome), other neurophysical and cardiorespiratory polysomnographic outcomes, sleep quality, daily functioning and mood, body weight and composition, physical fitness, blood biomarkers, and health-related quality of life. INTERAPNEA may serve to establish a cost-effective treatment not only for the improvement of OSA and its vast and severe comorbidities, but also for a potential remission of this condition.
This study is aimed to validate the questionnaire called Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire on a Swedish cohort of children from 18 months to 15 years old with obstructive sleep disordered breathing.
A validation study has been designed to assess the performance of a home sleep test device, TipTraQ, for screening sleep apnea. The study involves participants wearing the TipTraQ device on their fingertip during a traditional sleep test, known as polysomnography (PSG), conducted in a sleep center. The performance of the device will then be evaluated by comparing the results from the TipTraQ system with those from the traditional sleep test.
In the framework of pathophysiological trait in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, a simplified method is proposed to measure upper airway (UA) collapsibility and muscle responsiveness during wakefulness.
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) therapy (Inspire system) is intended for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who cannot be effectively treated with the first-line treatment options. Recently, the request for reimbursement of the Inspire system in Belgium was approved. The aim is to create a registry of OSA patients that are treated with HNS (Inspire system) within routine clinical care at the Antwerp University Hospital.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to study patients referred for sleep study by in-lab polysomnography in the Jordan University Hospital and the Jordan Hospital. The main aims are: - To prospectively obtain demographic and clinical information of patients referred for a sleep study. - To determine the diagnostic value of facial discoloration as potential marker for obstructive sleep apnea to increase detection rate for the condition. - To establish a correlation between obstructive sleep apnea and vasovagal symptoms with resulting increased smoking tendency and study the effect of treatment on the disorders. - To determine the association between timing of appearance of obstructive sleep apnea symptoms and initiation of smoking.
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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the adherence to Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy for newly diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) patients. The main question(s) it aims to answer are: 1. To compare the adherence of proactive therapy and conventional Automatic-PAP (APAP) therapy short-term (3 months) and long-term (12 months) for newly diagnosed OSA patients. 2. To compare health outcomes (AHI, nightly pressure, and patient-reported outcomes) between proactive therapy and conventional APAP therapy.
