NCT ID: NCT05977296 Recruiting - Dysphagia Clinical Trials

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), Oral Frailty, Dysphagia, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)

Start date: April 14, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the CPAP treatment on oral frailty and dysphagia among OSA patients.

NCT ID: NCT03812653 Recruiting - Stroke Clinical Trials

Sleep for Stroke Management and Recovery Trial

Sleep SMART
Start date: May 9, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with positive airway pressure starting shortly after acute ischemic stroke or high risk TIA (1) reduces recurrent stroke, acute coronary syndrome, and all-cause mortality 6 months after the event, and (2) improves stroke outcomes at 3 months in patients who experienced an ischemic stroke.

NCT ID: NCT03121781 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Diaphragm Electrical Activity of Preterm Infants on nCPAP With Binasal Prongs Versus RAM Cannula

Start date: November 1, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Preterm babies have immature lungs and frequent pauses in their breathing which often necessitates breathing support. Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (nCPAP) is one of the most commonly used tools, but the standard interfaces (prongs or mask) may cause nasal-septal injury and discomfort. The RAM cannula is another interface that consists in soft and curved prongs to avoid this nasal injury, but as the seal is not 100%, suboptimal delivery of airway distending pressure could result if they are used to deliver CPAP, as compared to standard interfaces. The investigators plan to study very low birth weight preterm babies who are generally well but require some support with their breathing. By inserting a special feeding tube with sensors into the stomach, the investigators can measure the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi), which is an important muscle for breathing. By analyzing EAdi in babies receiving nCPAP either with prongs or ram cannula, the investigators will be able to measure and compare how each method of support affects a baby's breathing. This important study will help us determine the most appropriate breathing support for preterm babies.
