Filter by:This is a randomized, 3-period, placebo-controlled, crossover, phase 2 clinical study to examine the efficacy and safety of 2 doses of AD109 vs placebo in patients with mild obstructive sleep apnea.
This study has been developed in order to demonstrate the validity of the Sparkle respiratory effort signal.
Ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury during abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair is inevitable and may lead to postoperative multi-organ failure. Remote ischemic preconditioning (short periods of ischemia in anticipation of longer period of ischemia) may act protectively against ischemia. Studies of ischemic preconditioning in patients with AAA are conflicting. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disordered breathing syndrome which may have a protective effect against ischemia. The investigators hypothesize that I/R injury will be less pronounced in patients who have OSA and that the extent of I/R injury will inversely correlate with OSA severity. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to compare postoperative complications and markers of I/R in patients undergoing elective AAA repair who do and do not have OSA.
There is an increase in the prevalence of obstructive apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSA) in children for which the pathophysiological explanation is unknown. The main objective is to compare pharyngeal collapsibility in asthmatic children with SHS score > 2.75 or ≤ 2.75 (OSA prediction score validated in French). Secondary objectives: Compare pharyngeal size, tracheal size, loop gain and its components (controller, plant), lung volumes and expired and nasal NO in asthmatic children with SHS score > 2.75 or ≤ 2.75. The bias due to the possible existence of an alveolar hyperventilation syndrome associated with asthma will be taken into account.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by complete or partial upper-airway collapse during sleep associated with sleepiness. OSA causes severe impairments in quality of life (sleepiness, tiredness, concentration difficulties). Moreover, OSA has adverse consequences on the cardiovascular system by causing intermittent hypoxia, increased sympathetic nervous system activation and vascular endothelial dysfunction. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and mandibular advanced devices (MAD) remain the two first-line therapies for OSA. However, not all patients are eligible for these treatments or are not able to follow for a lifelong therapy and therefore do not use it consistently. A recent meta-analysis has confirmed that regular physical activity reduces OSA by approximately 28% (Mendelson et al. 2018). However, an important inter-individual variability exists and no study to date has identified characteristics of patients who respond to these interventions. The aim of this Prospective study, single-site, non-randomized 4-week trial is to evaluate the impact of a 4-week physical activity intervention on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) in OSA patients based on their baseline fluid shift level. Participants included in the present study will benefit from a 4-week physical activity intervention. Upon the initial visit, a physical activity prescription will be defined and they will be equipped with a physical activity monitor that allows feedback. Participants will then exercise one day per week on-site and 4 days/week on their own. Weekly physical activity will be reviewed weekly with the participant during their on-site visit.
In this project,the investigators aim to establish a Collaborative Care Model of TCM and Western Medicine to improve the quality of life and symptoms of AR with OSA children and educate care-givers diet and massage information to improve self-care ability and alleviate anxiety for parents. In addition, the investigators will use portable oxymeter to detect the change of SpO2 and respiratory arousal index daily at home and evaluate sensitivity and specificity of portable oxymeter device applied in OSA. The investigators want to give holistic health care for participants and care-givers by this project. In addition, the investigators will build a training environment to provide medical education and training opportunity to teach medical students and clinician the knowledge of pediatric allergic rhinitis and obstructive sleep apnea by caring patients and learning from clinical cases.
Literature shows that patients with obesity and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), both occurring independently, are more likely to develop cardiovascular diseases and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Assuming that ventricular depolarization is more stable than repolarization then QT interval parameters may be used for heart muscle repolarization assessment for those groups of patients. There were 121 patients included in the study, both - women and men, aging from 35-65 with visceral obesity. Only healthy patients were included - the ones who were not treated for any chronic disease, taking QT elongating drugs, or were not treated with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy at that time.
The research aims to assess the impact on quality of life of surgically maxillary expansion in adult patients followed for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
This will be a prospective, multi-arm, randomized, and non-blinded clinical trial designed to evaluate the performance, comfort, and usability of the Toffee full face mask amongst participants who have been prescribed PAP therapy by a physician. This clinical trial will take place across three investigation sites with a sample of 45 participants.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of more timely care for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy at three months after treatment initiation. The secondary objectives are to determine if earlier care improves the treatment effect of PAP on patient reported sleepiness, quality of life and patient satisfaction. We will also evaluate the impact of shorter wait times on patient engagement in therapy by assessing initial acceptance of PAP therapy, patient activation and self-efficacy with respect to OSA treatment. The study hypothesis is that the early management strategy will be superior to usual care with respect to the primary outcome of PAP adherence at three months.
