Filter by:MARIPOSA is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm 1-month study of AD109 in participants with OSA. Enrolled participants will be randomized to one of 5 parallel treatment arms.
This is an open-label, parallel, prospective, randomised control trial evaluating the effect of Continuous Positive airway pressure (CPAP), the standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) versus control (diet and lifestyle advice) on dipping status and blood pressure parameters in 100 non-dipper normotensive patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea and without established cardiovascular or metabolic disease.
The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the upper airway muscles in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
This clinical research study will investigate the effects of respiratory strength training on blood pressure and cardiovascular health in adults who are 50 years of age and older and have been diagnosed with moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common clinical condition in which the throat narrows or collapses repeatedly during sleep, causing obstructive sleep apnea events. One of the most common sites for collapse during sleep is hypo-pharyngeal space. It was founded in 50% of OSA patients those have moderate and severe apnea. DeRowe et al invented the Tongue base suspension operation in 1998 for sleep disordered breathing.
Patients with chronic pain who use opioids appear to be at increased risk for breathing issues during sleep, termed sleep disordered breathing (SDB). Treatment of SDB often consists of use of a device during sleep that provides continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) via a mask interface. The goal of this study is to determine whether patients with chronic pain who use opioids and have SDB might benefit from the use of CPAP in terms of sleep quality, pain, quality of life, and other measures. In addition, the study will examine whether these individuals are able to adhere to CPAP, which will be important for future studies. Lastly, we anticipate that CPAP won't work for everyone due to the changes that opioids can cause in breathing patterns. We will examine how often CPAP is ineffective, and whether we can predict which individuals are least likely to resolve their SDB with CPAP.
This study has been developed in order to demonstrate the validity of the DreamKit respiratory effort signal.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first-line treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA). It consists of a pressure generator connected to a mask applied to the patient's face. CPAP treatment is restrictive, and nearly a quarter of patients abandon it over the long term. Various factors can influence adherence to CPAP therapy, including adverse events associated with the mask. However, it is clear that compliance with CPAP treatment, even if it has tended to improve over the last 30 years, is still sub-optimal. The "Air Liquide Medical Systems" company has developed a mask that aims to improve comfort and ease of use for the patient. This leaky nasal mask has a "silent" intentional leak port, which significantly reduces the noise caused by the escape of air. The noise associated with intentional leakage is one of the discomforts reported by patients and their spouses. In addition, this mask is equipped with a new generation headgear with adjustment indicators to assist the patient in fitting the mask. Optimal headgear fit is a prerequisite for comfort during treatment, as it reduces unintentional leakage. The main objective is to evaluate, through a questionnaire, the comfort and general appreciation of a nasal mask equipped with a silent leak system and a headgear with adjustment aids, of patients with OSA treated with CPAP. Secondary objectives are : 1. To evaluate the appearance of CPAP side effects related to the mask, 2. To collect the patient's appreciation of the mask headgear, 3. To evaluate the discomfort caused by the nasal obstruction reported by the patient, 4. To evaluate the daytime sleepiness of the patient, 5. To study the parameters of the CPAP treatment.
Compliance of continuous positive airway pressure （CPAP） derived from auto-titration is similar to that derived from manual titration, although pressure derived from the former was usually 2-5 cmH2O higher than the latter. Therefore the Investigators hypothesize that accurate titration maybe not necessary for successful treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as long as CPAP pressure was not lower than the minimal effective pressure.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is increasingly recognized in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). The prevalence prior and after cancer therapy is not well understood. OSA is identified as a contributing factor for daytime somnolence and quality of life (QOL), yet treatment of OSA in the SCCHN population has not been studied. The investigators hope to identify the disease course of sleep apnea, risk factors for development, and impact on QOL with treatment of OSA in a population of patients with SCCHN.
