Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to perform a detailed description of the feno- and genotype of people living with type 2 diabetes and severe obesity who are linked to care at Steno Diabetes Center Greenland. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are monogenetic diabetes variants associated with the same risk of developing late diabetic complications as other types of diabetes? - Can genotyping and thereby personalized medicine be implemented in Greenland, and can personalized medicine lead to improved treatment? - What is the prevalence of sleep apnea among high-risk individuals in Greenland? - Is it possible to develop and implement a simple algorithm for the identification of sleep apnea in Greenland that can ensure treatment of severe sleep apnea? Participants will: - Answer WHO-5 and FOSQ-10 questionnaires regarding quality of life and functional outcomes of sleepiness - Perform VAGUS examinations for Cardiovasculare Autonomic Neuropathy - Clinical examination of height, weight, circumference of hip, waist and neck, Friedman tonsil and tongue score, nasal air flow, nasal septal deviation - Blood samples for full genome sequencing
TheraPAP is a prototype device (with full documented electrical and isolation safety) being developed by SleepRes for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) that can deliver either standard CPAP at a set pressure or what is called TPAP . TPAP is a pressure control algorithm that lowers the pressure from the set pressure at the beginning of inspiration and does not return the pressure to the full set level until about halfway through expiration. The present study, TheraPAP Comfort, aims at assessing whether TPAP improves patient comfort vs. CPAP during supine wakefulness.
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 purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a novel personalized surgical approach to the standard AT in children with small tonsils (ST). This will be accomplished by randomizing children with ST and OSA to one of these two treatments and comparing outcomes after 6 months. It is the investigators' central hypothesis that a personalized drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE)-directed surgical approach that uses existing procedures to address the specific fixed and dynamic anatomic features causing obstruction (ie, anatomic endotypes) in each child with ST will perform better than the currently recommended standard first line approach of AT. This novel approach may improve OSA outcomes and reduce the burden of unnecessary AT or secondary surgery for persistent OSA after an ineffective AT. To test this hypothesis, the investigators propose to study children aged 2-17 years with small tonsils and 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.
This research project will develop and implement a motivational interviewing and electronic messaging intervention to address obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), positive airway pressure (PAP) adherence, and risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in American Indians. The project will work with American Indian Elders, aged 50 years and older, from three Northern Plains Reservations and surrounding communities. A total of 300 American Indian elders with a confirmed OSA diagnosis and prescribed PAP therapy will be randomized to receive usual care consisting of PAP therapy alone (control condition) or usual care plus the culturally informed CATNAP MI component (intervention condition).
