Filter by:The role of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) in the management of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is not precisely defined for children. The primary objective of this study was to describe the consequences of DISE in the therapeutic management for children with OSAHS. The secondary objectives were to analyze the correlation between the number of obstructive sites found during DISE, the value of apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), and the type of OSAHS.
This is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, repeat-dose, parallel arm, outpatient and inpatient phase 2 clinical study to examine the efficacy and safety of three dose levels of AD036 versus placebo in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard to normalize breathing during sleep in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrom (OSA). Many patients will not tolerate or will not accept CPAP. Implanted nerve stimulation is a novel therapy for OSA patients that restores the upper airway potency using unilateral XII nerve electric stimulation. The principal objective of this study is short-term efficacy of a new treatment for OSA on blood pressure variability during sleep.
This study compare the efficacy of high flow nasal cannula with nasal continuous positive airway pressure. All of participants will be randomized to receive one night high flow nasal cannula therapy and another night for nasal continuous positive airway pressure.
The aim of the study is to assess the effect of adenotonsillectomy on level of asthma control in preschool children with obstructive sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA), are common in patients with cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of OSA is 2%-4% in general population and 16%-47% in surgical-heart failure patients. The previous studies found that the sleep apnea types shifted from OSA to CSA after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment or from CSA to OSA after heart surgery (cardiac valve replacement/ repair or heart transplantation) without the mechanism illuminated clearly. The recent studies found that the loop gain (LG) could predict the effect of upper airway surgery and CPAP treatment on the reversion of OSA. However, in patients with valvular heart disease, whether LG and related parameters can predict the therapeutic efficacy of CPAP or cardiac valve replacement is not expounded clearly. The investigators' previous study found that there were different outcomes of sleep apnea after cardiac valve replacement: elimination or consistent. But the corresponding non-anatomic mechanisms was not clear. The investigators' preliminary experiment showed that the LG and related parameters were not improved while OSA improved by CPAP treatment; however, the recovery of OSA after cardiac valve replacement was closed related to the improvement of LG and related parameters. The investigators speculated that, 1. LG and related parameters could predict OSA outcome of CPAP treatment or cardiac valve replacement. 2. non-anatomic mechanisms including LG and associated parameters, contributed to CPAP treatment and cardiac valve replacement were different. In this study, the investigators aimed to explore the relationship between LG and, outcomes of OSA and the regarding non-anatomic mechanisms in patient with heart valve disease.
The investigators hypothesize that sub-mental ultrasonography measures are strongly correlated with the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome and the related specific subjective scales.
Intraoral Neuromuscular Training for Treatment of Snoring Objective Studies show that improving pharyngeal muscle tone can ameliorate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and snoring. The study uses an intra-oral stimulation device (SnooZeal) aimed at a population of snorers. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of intra-oral neuromuscular stimulation training during wakefulness on snoring. Methods This is a prospective study, recruiting up to 200 patients from the sleep clinics. In this study, subjects will use the intra-oral stimulation device once a day for 20 minutes each time for a period of 6 weeks. During these 6 weeks, subjects will complete a daily diary of the device use and any side effects or adverse events. Partners also complete a daily snoring score. Subjects will be followed-up for a further 2 weeks after treatment. They will complete Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and subjective sleep quality questionnaires for a further 2 weeks. Partners will also complete the post treatment snoring scores. Sleep study will be repeated. Outcome measures The objective evaluation will be based on pre- and post-treatment sleep studies, visual analogue scale (VAS) snoring scores, PSQI and subjective sleep quality questionnaire. All side effects and adverse events will be reported and acted upon according to the risk management structure.
The primary aim of this study is to research the effect of intubation without muscle relaxant on post-operative recovery conditions in patients with OSAS (obstructive sleep apnea syndrome). Our secondary aim is to research the hemodynamic parameters in intraoperative period and complications such as sore throat and laryngospasm voice limitation in the postoperative period.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential improvement of sleep quality in children who have residual obstructive sleep apnea, using either an orthodontic intervention or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), versus no treatment.
