Filter by:The purpose of this study is to estimated prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in 4-8 year old children. To date, most studies estimating prevalence of sleep apnea in young children are based on utilizing subjective questionnaires. The few studies that have utilized objective sleep measures have tested only those children suspected of sleep apnea based on subjective questionnaires, finding prevalence in the range of 1-13%. Untreated OSA is associated with significant morbidities in children, affecting their behavior, cognitive development, cardiovascular-and cardio metabolic health, endocrine and immune function. Better understanding of prevalence of sleep apnea in young children should be beneficial. This study will help to understand the prevalence of sleep apnea in each age-group of children 4-8 years of age and whether certain groups, such as children with obesity or asthma have higher prevalence and/or more severe disease. The primary objective of this study is to get better understanding of prevalence and severity of sleep apnea in young children using objective sleep measures for all participants.
This study will take between 4-6 months (with first patient first visit to last patient last visit expected to span 3-4 months across all study sites). Each participant will use the investigational PAP device with their own mask for a period of up to 7 nights and will complete a series of questionnaires upon completion. The study will evaluate the usability and efficacy of the investigational device in the intended use environment by the intended use population.
To assess the diagnostic validity and cost-effectiveness of an infrared thermography system in adults with clinical suspicion of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple dose administration of gefapixant (MK-7264) in participants with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The primary hypothesis is that multiple dose administration of gefapixant (MK-7264) in participants with moderate to severe OSA reduces the Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) relative to placebo.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and has major health implications but treatment options are limited. OSA patients show a marked reduction in upper airway (UA) dilator muscle activity at sleep onset and this phenomenon leads to increased collapsibility of UA compared to normal subjects. In this protocol the investigators will test the effect of DAW1033B2 administered before sleep on OSA phenotype traits and OSA severity during sleep.
To assess the diagnostic validity and cost-effectiveness of a APNiA device, a home respiratory polygraphy (HRP).
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and has major health implications but treatment options are limited. OSA patients show a marked reduction in upper airway (UA) dilator muscle activity at sleep onset and this phenomenon leads to increased collapsibility of UA compared to normal subjects. In this protocol the investigators will test the effect of DAW1033D administered before sleep on OSA phenotype traits and OSA severity during sleep.
Patients will be randomly assigned to either one of two groups: 1. Standard of care sedation 2. Audiovisual distraction during surgery and in the recovery room using video goggles and headphones; patients can choose a movie from a preexisting library Monitoring and anesthesia regimen will be standardized
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and has major health implications but treatment options are limited. OSA patients show a marked reduction in upper airway (UA) dilator muscle activity at sleep onset and this phenomenon leads to increased collapsibility of UA compared to normal subjects. Until recently, the search for medicines to activate pharyngeal muscles in sleeping humans has been discouraging. However, exciting new animal research has shown that drugs with noradrenergic and antimuscarinic effects can restore pharyngeal muscle activity to waking levels. In this protocol the investigators will test the effect of atomoxetine (a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor) and oxybutynin (an antimuscarinic drug) administered together on OSA phenotype traits and OSA severity during sleep.
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) could have several anatomical causes of obstruction. A sleep endoscopy study is a technique to help determine the anatomical cause of OSA. This study will be using standard of care practice and infuse dexmedetomidine (DEX) to induce sleep. The goals of the study are to (1) confirm airway obstruction with endoscopic view and correlate that with Acoustic Respiratory Rate (RRa) signal at the moment of airway obstruction, and (2) characterize the EEG signals when subjects are under DEX sedation alone.
