View clinical trials related to Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome.
Filter by:Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) used as diagnostic tool but not yet as a therapeutic procedures to manage the upper airway of snorers and obstructive sleep apnea patients in conditions that mimic natural sleep, there are many aspects that need to be standardized in order to obtain reliable and reproducible information result in cryotherapy at sites of vibration as origin of snoring and site of collapse.
The primary objective of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the role of patient researchers in promoting the resumption of CPAP therapy in apneic patients who had previously stopped CPAP

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 oral appliances (OAs) are considered to be an effective treatment modality for snoring and various forms of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). They facilitate the displacement of the mandible anteriorly and widen the upper airway during sleep. Lateral cephalometry has been used for the two-dimensional evaluation of upper airway form with several limits.The purpose of present study is to investigate an accurate three-dimensional (3D) volume analyses with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans to confirm the effects of OAs on the upper airway in patients with OSAS.The investigators aim to enroll twenty-four patients with mild,moderate or severe OSAS, intolerant to continuous positive air pressure therapy and rejection a surgical approach,who will be treated with adjustable customized OAs and evaluated with CBCT and polysomnography. Upper airway form was examined and the volume was measured in two different areas. Specific planes have been considered to match the data and calculate the benefit obtained with therapy.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder in children (2-3%). OSAS in turn, is associated with significant behavioral, learning, and heart problems. Adenotonsillectomy (T&A, meaning the removal of tonsils and adenoids) is the most common treatment for the problem .Diagnosis of OSAS in children is based on overnight polysomnography (sleep study). Recent studies suggest that upper airway and systemic inflammatory changes exists in school-age children and adults with OSAS, and that anti inflammatory therapy can improve respiratory parameters during sleep and reduce adenoid size, similar to surgery. However, there are no data in the literature on inflammatory changes in infants with the disorder. Healthcare resources utilization, a sensitive marker for diseases is consumed by young children (<3y) with OSAS more then healthy children, from their first year of life We hypothesize that infants and young children with OSAS present local inflammatory changes of the airways as well as systemic inflammation (in the blood or urine) that contribute to the learning, growing and heart associated medical problems. The Aims of the present study are to characterize the local and systemic inflammatory changes of young children with OSAS, and to evaluate their associated medical problems at diagnosis and after therapy (T&A) If indeed inflammation is "responsible" for the development of OSAS at such a young age it should be reduced following therapy (i.e. T&A). In such a case bio-markers may become a part of the algorithms for diagnosis and follow up of such patients.
Cow's milk allergy may be involved in the evolution of sleep apnea in infants. The study will assess the effects of specifies diet changes (i.e. non-milk based formula) on the infant. Specifically , infants will be investigated by sleep studies in order to test this hypothesis.
