Filter by:Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) is a cardiovascular risk factor due to intermittent hypoxia phenomena. Several etiological factors are involved in the pathogenesis of OSAS. Among them, the rostro-caudal displacement of fluid during dorsal decubitus has been highlighted. Under the effect of gravity, an accumulation of fluid is possible in the lower limbs, redistributing itself towards the upper parts of the body during the supine position. This phenomenon of fluid shift is usually evaluated by impedancemetry after a night in the supine position. However, some authors have shown that fluid shift occurs within 90 minutes after supine. Thus, in the perspective of future studies, in order to simplify the implementation of this evaluation and to reduce the time of hospitalization necessary for the subjects participating in the study, we would like to verify the correlation between the impedancemetry measurement at T 90 min and that obtained after one night of supine position. This is a single-center, prospective, open-label study at the Poitiers University Hospital. We will include 30 patients over 18 years of age admitted to the regional sleep pathology center for suspected nocturnal respiratory disorders to receive polysomnography and able to provide written consent.We excluded : patients younger than 18 years of age, A history of vascular surgery of the lower limbs such as varicose vein surgery, vascular bypass surgery, carcinological surgery with lymph node dissection, the presence of metallic implants in the lower limbs or spine or implantable cardiac devices, those not receiving Social Securitý or not receiving it through a third party, persons receiving enhanced protection, namely minors, and persons deprived of libertý by a judicial or administrative decision, persons staying in a health or social institution, and adults under legal protection.we will perform an impedance measurement at T0, T30, T90, and after overnight supine. Impedance measurement is performed using electrodes delivering a low intensity current of known frequency allowing the study of the liquid volume.
The aim of this research is to verify the ability of counterfactual thinking about medical decisions in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome when compared with healthy individuals
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the MotivAir program an intervention based on Motivational Interviewing (MI) principles and techniques - in enhancing adherence to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy among patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). Methods. A multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) design with random allocation at the level of the individual will be conducted to compare the impact of the experimental program (usual care plus MI) with a control group receiving usual care only in improving selected clinical and psychological parameters in the patients. A minimum sample of 80 participants (40 patients per group) will be recruited in each center according to the inclusion criteria. After the initial screening, participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control condition. The program will last 180 days and will be delivered by a trained nurse. The impact of the MotivAir program on selected primary (adherence to CPAP in terms of average hours of usage per night and the Apnea-Hypopnea Index, AHI) and secondary (motivation, perceived competence, quality of life, sleepiness, as well as the emotional state, daily life activities, and quality of the social relationships of the person) outcomes will be measured at baseline, and after 1-, 3-, and 6-month from CPAP initiation
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is defined by the association of clinical symptoms - drowsiness in particular - and sleep breathing disorders, objectified by measuring the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Apneas and hypopneas during sleep are responsible for micro-arousals and hypoxemia. In the short term, these result in daytime sleepiness with reduced alertness, difficulty driving and carrying out tasks (increased risk of road accidents and accidents at work), memory and concentration problems. , mood disorders. These disturbances lead to an impairment of the quality of life. In the long term, severe OSA (AHI > 30 events/hour) increases all-cause mortality and cardiovascular morbidity. The reference treatment is nasal ventilation by Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). In practice, the observance and effectiveness of CPAP are limited by the sometimes difficult acceptance of cumbersome equipment, involving noise pollution and requiring the wearing of night-time equipment that some patients find difficult to bear. The alternative treatment is represented by the mandibular advancement orthosis . Lifestyle and dietary measures are always recommended. To date, no pharmacological treatment has demonstrated its effectiveness in OSA. Studies have shown that the antioxidant capacity of the blood is reduced in patients with OSA. It would be secondary to the cycles of hypoxia and reoxygenation which cause a modification of the oxidative balance, leading to an increase in free radicals. It has been observed that the serum levels of trace elements and heavy metals are higher during OSA, by deterioration of the balance of these substances due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Antioxidant therapies have reduced biomarkers of oxidative stress in apneic patients. A new path of research is opening up with the use of antioxidants and trace elements in OSA. To scientifically support the hypothesis of the action of these supplements based on trace metals on OSA, PRONUTRI wish to conduct a comparative, randomized, double-blind study versus placebo evaluating the effect of a specific complex of trace metals in the OSA.
Published data suggest that the glossopharyngeal nerve innervates pharyngeal musculature important for maintenance of upper airway patency. The investigators propose a study examining the anatomic variation of the glossopharyngeal nerve and the effect of electrical stimulation on muscle recruitment and upper airway patency.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the longer-term (6 months) effect of CPAP therapy on change in 24-hour mean blood pressure (24hMBP) in OSA subjects with the excessively sleepy symptom subtype.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a multi-factorial sleep disorder. Complete collapse or partial collapse in the airway increases the risk of developing cardiovascular and kidney-related disease in OSA patients. Resulting in an increase in medical expenses and workload for the healthcare worker. Multilevel of upper airway muscles especially the genioglossus muscle showed to contribute to airway obstruction as it fatigues easily. The endurance level of OSA patients was shown to be significantly lower. Therefore, the goal of this experimental study is to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a comprehensive respiratory training exercise program on cardiorespiratory endurance, airway muscle function, and sleep parameters in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Aside from exploring the therapeutic effect, the results of the study will be used to explore the mechanism of the treatment in relation to the changes in the OSA severity.
Study name: Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Hypertensive Patients in China: A Prospective National Multi-center Registry. Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a common secondary cause of hypertension and significantly correlated with the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) only shows modest blood pressure lowering effect, although it is effective in the relieve of daytime sleepiness and other symptoms of OSAS. One of the possible reasons for the low antihypertensive efficacy might be the low adherence to CPAP therapy. Nonetheless, few studies systematically investigated CPAP adherence with regard to its prediction and clinical relevance for cardiovascular protection and prevention. Objective: 1) To evaluate short- and long-term CPAP adherence in patients with hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome; 2) To investigate the predictors of short- and long-term CPAP adherence; 3) To explore the correlation between the CPAP adherence and blood pressure, target organ damage and the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Study design: Prospective, multi-center, observational study. Study population: Patients with hypertension who are suspected to have obstructive sleep apnea syndrome due to snoring, daytime sleepiness and other related symptoms are considered eligible and should meet the following criterias: 1) Agree to participate in the study and sign the informed consent; 2) At least 18 years old; 3) STOP-Bang questionnaire, score ≥3 points; 4) Complete polysomnography in hospital; 5) Currently on CPAP therapy. Follow up: 3, 6 and 12 months after registry. Sample size estimation: At least 633 patients. Timeline: Start of subjects' enrollment: Jan 2023; End of subjects' enrollment: December 2026; End of study: December 2026. Organization: The Centre for Epidemiological Studies and Clinical Trials, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai, China.
