Filter by:This study is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, open-label study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of therapy with the ProSomnus EVO Sleep and Snore Device in individuals with severe obstructive sleep apnea.
To verify the effect of orofacial myofunctional therapy in patients with OSA during the use of CPAP with a nasal mask, on the frequency and leak flow. In addition, the impact on mouth opening frequency, sleep quality, perception of excessive daytime sleepiness, and CPAP adherence will be evaluated.
The StimAire Model S is intended to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) by stimulating the hypoglossal nerve. The system includes a dedicated neurostimulator and a breathing sensor. The system is to be used in participants diagnosed with moderate to severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The Sponsor will be evaluating the change in Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) when using the StimAire Model S system.
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is an established therapy that delivers positive pressure to the upper airways to provide respiratory support. Two types of NIV can be delivered; continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) at one continuous pressure and bilevel NIV at two pressures for inhalation and exhalation. This investigation is designed to physiologically evaluate the performance of a NIV mask, Mask A, compared to a standard NIV mask, Mask B on CPAP therapy. People with sleep disordered breathing who have chronic hypercapnia, and are already receiving nocturnal CPAP will be recruited. They will receive one night's CPAP therapy on Mask A and 1 night on Mask B in random order. Physiological parameters will be recorded. Parameters will be recorded during three baselines at the beginning of each evening and throughout the night when participants are asleep. The three baselines are: 1. participant awake with normal breathing (not on CPAP), 2. participant awake and on CPAP, and 3. participant asleep on CPAP in REM-sleep (rapid eye movement sleep).
The aim of this trial is to assess the effect of two automated beds on severity of POSA as well as the feasibility of these beds as POSA treatment. These beds are equipped with sensors detecting apnoeas and hypopnoeas from physiological measurements - such as chest movement or breathing sound -, and coherently reacting by actively changing the user position whenever an apnoeic event occurs. Thereby we will investigate a possible treatment alternative to already established OSA therapies, either as a valuable add-on for patients eligible to the currently available therapies or as primary treatment option.
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.
The purpose of the study is to see if metformin improves metabolism in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) using positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. Metformin is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment and prevention of diabetes. It is not approved for use in patients with OSA.
Stillbirth (SB) is a devastating complication of pregnancy and contributes to over 2 million deaths globally every year. Over 20 million infants are born every year with low birth weight (LBW), which is associated with a twenty times increased risk of death in the first year of life and high rates of short- and long-term illnesses. Sleeping on one's back during pregnancy has recently emerged as a potential risk factor for LBW and SB in the medical literature. In high-income countries, SB rates have mostly remained the same in the past two decades and targeting modifiable risk factors could help reduce the number of SB and LBW in the population. When a pregnant woman sleeps on her back, her body position compresses underlying blood vessels and reduces blood flow to the developing baby. This body position could cause unpleasant symptoms for the mother and result in LBW or SB of her baby. Lying on her side or with a slight lateral tilt helps relieve this compression. One way to keep people off their back while sleeping is by using positional therapy (PT). It is a simple, safe, inexpensive and effective intervention for preventing people who snore or people who's breathing pauses during sleep from sleeping on their back. Reducing the amount of time pregnant women sleep on their back could help reduce SB and LBW rates. The investigators developed a PT device (PrenaBelt) and tested it in three clinical trials, which demonstrated that it significantly decreases the number of time women spend sleeping on their back. Using feedback from our previous research, the investigators developed five additional devices that will be tested in this study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the new PrenaBelt (PB2) prototypes' ability to reduce the amount of time pregnant women sleep on their backs in the third trimester of pregnancy, validate the Ajuvia Sleep Monitor, and collect feedback on the devices. Demonstrating that the sleeping position of pregnant women can be modified through the use of a simple, inexpensive PT intervention may be one of the keys to achieving significant reductions in LBW and late SB rates in Australia and worldwide.
This project will assess patients with diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea, to investigate the impact of poor sleep on central pain mechanisms. Furthermore, the project will explore if restoring good sleep hygiene can improve the central pain mechanisms that may be associated with the risk of chronic pain.
Comparison of the NightBalance Sleep Position Trainer (SPT) to Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) for the Treatment of Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea (POSA). Primary Objective: Efficacy and Adherence of the SPT over 3 months of use compared to PAP for the treatment of POSA. The study is run from centers in France, the UK and Germany.
