Filter by:The main goal of this prospective pre-post implementation study is to investigate how a structured testing and treatment program for obstructive sleep apnea using the NOX T3s device and a Fitbit smartwatch with the FibriCheck algorithm impacts the proportion of atrial fibrillation (AF) in an AF population. Participants will wear the NOX T3s respiratory polygraphy device for one night at home. In case of a positive obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis, patients will be referred to the sleep clinic for a polysomnography examination. Patients positively diagnosed with polygraph will be monitored semi-continuously with the Fitbit smartwatch for three months. After the polysomnography examination, the positively diagnosed patients will be monitored semi-continuously for another three months after initiation of treatment (mostly continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment). Additionally, patients will be administered satisfaction and symptom burden questionnaires twice: right after the polysomnography examination and after the 3-month treatment.
The purpose of this study is to investigate potential sex differences in neurocirculatory control of blood pressure in patients with untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
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 observational study is to develop new algorithms to detect apnea and/or hypopnea to provide additional insights to Skiin users and to their circle of care to validate and/or improve the current algorithms of the Skiin system for extraction of biological metrics during sleep based on the Skiin ECG and accelerometry data.
The main goal of the study is to explore the relationship between obstructive sleep apnoea and nocturia.
The present study, TheraEquivalence, is a Phase 2 crossover study designed to examine the efficacy and safety of TheraPAP (TPAP) vs. CPAP alone in the treatment of OSA.
Although obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder, there are no blood biomarkers for identification and management of these patients. This project will study microRNAs in order to develop and validate blood biomarkers that are specific to OSA, useful for identification of cases with OSA, reflective of efficacy of therapy, and able to predict blood pressure response to treatment of OSA.
The nocturnal short-term BPV induced by sleep-breathing events is affected by many factors. The purpose of the study is as follows: (1) to explore the relationship between nocturnal short-term BPV and vascular endothelial function and sympathetic activity in patients with OSA respectively, (2) to explore which play the key role in BP fluctuation, (3) how to prevent the frequent BP fluctuation and arrive at a safe point.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is recurrent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep that causes intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation and potentially lead to cardiometabolic and neurocognitive sequelae. Chronic intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation of OSA, and insufficient sleep have been significantly associated with higher risks of neurocognitive impairment, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease. Thus, sleep and sleep apnea might be modifiable factors to neurocognitive impairment. Positive airway pressure (PAP) is the first line of treatment to maintain open airways for patients with OSA. Improving sleep, sleep apnea and circadian function could be a high-value intervention target to alleviate cognitive impairment and decline in subjects with mild neurocognitive impairment. Amyloid accumulation in brain tissue is a distinct feature of Alzheimers' disease, which is associated with potential impairment of neurocognition clinically. It predicts memory decline in initially cognitively unimpaired individuals. The study explores the associations between sleep apnea, cognitive function and cerebral imaging and the role of PAP therapy on neurocognitive trajectory in these patients with subjective cognitive impairment /mild cognitive impairment (SCI/MCI).
The goal of this randomised, double-blind phase II/III clinical trial is to determine the safety and efficacy of IHL-42X in subjects with obstructive sleep apnoea who are intolerant, non-compliant, or naïve to positive airway pressure. Phase II study will be a 4-week dose-finding study comparing two dose strengths of IHL-42X to placebo. The optimal dose strength will be selected based on comparing the safety and efficacy of the two IHL-42X dose strengths to placebo over a 4-week treatment period. The three treatment groups are; IHL-42X Low dose (2.5mg dronabinol, 125mg acetazolamide), IHL-42X High dose (5mg dronabinol, 250mg acetazolamide) and Placebo. Each treatment group will enrol approximately 40 patients per treatment arm, for a total of approximately 120 patients. The safety and efficacy results of the Phase II study will be used to select the dose strength of IHL-42X and corresponding doses of dronabinol and acetazolamide in Phase III. Phase III study will use the optimal dose strength of IHL-42X identified in Phase II and will be compared to the component active pharmaceutical ingredients at equivalent dose strengths to those found in the IHL-42X optimal dose strength and placebo over 52 weeks. The four treatment groups are; IHL-42X (optimal dose from Phase II), Acetazolamide (equivalent dose strength to that in the IHL-42X optimal dose strength), Dronabinol (equivalent dose strength to that in the IHL-42X optimal dose strength) and placebo. The treatment groups will enrol approximately 165 patients in IHL-42X, approximately 55 patients in dronabinol, approximately 55 in acetazolamide, and approximately 165 in placebo, for a total of approximately 440 patients.
