Filter by:This clinical investigation is designed to assess the F&P Toffee Nasal and Toffee Nasal Pillows masks in home for use during PAP therapy delivery. The objectives of the investigation are to assess therapeutic efficacy, safety and comfort.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a type of sleep-related breathing disorders that is characterized by a sleep-related constriction (obstruction) of the upper airways. The treatment with continuous application of positive airway pressure (CPAP) via respiratory mask forms the therapeutical standard of OSA. The autoCPAP (automatic positive airway pressure: APAP) therapy is an additional treatment option for patients with more unstable conditions (e.g. due to sleep position) which is characterized by a dynamic adaption of the applied airway pressure according to patients therapeutical needs. Device usage time and therapy adherence are crucial for treatment success. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a digital patient support (DPS) tool, complementary to standard care on continuous and automatic positive airway pressure (CPAP, APAP) adherence and daytime sleepiness after 12 weeks in patients diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). All patients with apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 30 per hour are prospectively included and randomized to receive standard care (SC) or standard care with personalized DPS via prisma APP prototype version (SC+DPS). In both arms, initiation of therapy and standardized therapy control after 12 weeks is carried out identically. Patients in the SC+DPS arm received additionally automated feedback on their therapy and motivational messages, as well as therapy recommendations.
Objectives: Determination of the impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the cognitive function (CF) and serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6 and 1β levels in children aged 5-12 years and the effect of OSA management on these variables. Patients & Methods: 224 patients were evaluated using the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire, the NEPSY score for CF and Polysomnography (PSG) to grade OSA severity according to the Apnea/hypopnea index (AHI). Patients with adenotonsillar hypertrophy grade >2 will undergo the appropriate surgical intervention. Overweight or obese patients with mild or moderate OSAS will undergo 6-m trial of lifestyle intervention (LSI). Blood samples were obtained for ELISA estimation of cytokines' levels. At end of 6-m follow-up, all variables were re-evaluated
350 participants will be enrolled in this study. The target population are patients newly diagnosed with OSA and starting CPAP treatment. User accessible customizable comfort settings (Response setting, expiratory pressure relief (EPR) on/off and EPR level, and Ramp) will be set to either default (control group), or personalized for that participant (active treatment group). Usage will be recorded for the first 1 month of CPAP treatment, to determine if customizing comfort settings can improve CPAP compliance
Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a chronic disease that lasts for at least three months and is characterized by various symptoms such as tender points, widespread pain in the musculoskeletal system, sleep disturbance and fatigue. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS) is a disease characterized by repeated upper airway obstruction during sleep. Sleep disorders negatively affect the lives of individuals. The prevalence of OSAS is between 1-5% in studies and it is more common in men than in women. Fatigue, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance are also common in patients with fibromyalgia. Likewise, the presence of symptoms such as musculoskeletal pain in patients with OSAS suggests that these two diseases may be related to each other. We planned this study to show the relationship between OSAS and fibromyalgia (FM).
This study is aimed to evaluate whether the information provided by health care professionals in the visits previous to start with CPAP treatment may influence the number of reported adverse effects and compliance in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in treatment with CPAP.
This is a multi-center, single-arm, prospective performance evaluation study designed to assess performance of sleep metrics calculated from sensor data that is collected from two versions of the Verily Study Watch as compared to polysomnography.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension are closely associated diseases. Here we characterized the differences in the gut microbiome which is affected by the two diseases, when the two diseases coexist or are present alone. Fifty-two consecutive patients who underwent polysomnography (PSG) were enrolled and divided into four groups: without OSA or hypertension (OSA0HT0), OSA without hypertension (OSA1HT0), hypertension without OSA (OSA0HT1), and with OSA and hypertension (OSA1HT1). Fecal specimens were collected for 16S rRNA sequencing and the characteristics of community richness, diversity, and composition of the gut microbiome and their relationship with disease were analyzed using bioinformatics methods.
The effect of CPAP on weight and fluid homeostasis will be assessed. Obstructive sleep apnea treatment-naive subjects will randomized to CPAP and control groups. Weight change, and changes in overnight urinary volume, intra and extracelullar volume, plasmatic B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and urinary osmolality will be compared between groups.
In this study, we aim to determine whether combined tolterodine and CPAP therapy is a more effective treatment for patients with OSAS than CPAP treatment only.
