Filter by:The main purpose of this study is to test is mandibular advacenment device (MAD) use is associated with reductions in nocturia.
The REMAP study aims to follow a cohort of 400 patients in around ten sleep centers in France and to collect clinical routine data. The objectives of this study are to investigate the effects of one-year management of OSA by CPAP or MAD on sleep architecture defined by objective macro and micro sleep architecture parameters using a sleep test device. sleep connected at home, to assess the quality of sleep and the quality of life reported by patients. The study will also allow us to define predictive factors for improving sleep quality during OSA treatment.
The TUCSON study is a cross-sectional observational monocentric study. In order to provide a clinical helpful assessment for urologists for possible missed causes of nocturia, the aim is to investigate the voiding and sleep pattern through questionnaires and sleep and voiding diaries of patients consulting the urology department, sleep clinic and pneumology department. An assessment of the prevalence of missed underlying causes will be made and a subset of patients will be asked to deliver urine samples from every night time and first morning void to further investigate possible differences in urine content between the groups. First of all, with this research the aim to offer an idea about the order of magnitude for missed underlying causes of nocturia. Secondly, to discover a specific sleep and voiding pattern for the different entities of nocturia and thirdly, to offer a useful screening tool for underlying pathology in clinical practice.
This study is being done to understand body's response to hybrid home-based and on-site rehabilitation program utilizing individually tailored exercises throughout a total of 18 sessions with 12 of them occurring onsite, in people with and without chronic respiratory diseases, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and in individuals recovered from COVID-19. Exercise training programs vary widely for people with COPD, OSA, and during prolonged recovery from COVID infection. This study will help identify if this program is helpful to address muscle loss and fatigue specifically in populations with and without chronic respiratory diseases.
To determine the impact of the CPAP route (oronasal vs oral) in patients diagnosed with moderate-severe OSA using CPAP with oronasal mask on CPAP level, residual AHI, and peak flow. In addition, the impact of position (lateral vs supine position) will be evaluated during PSG.
The term "Overlap Syndrome" (OS) is used to describe the presence of both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a single patient. Due to premature aging, patients with OS are prone to developing functional decline up to 20 years earlier than the general population. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) evaluates functional status in chronic pulmonary disease globally in 5 domains. The investigators propose to study validated outcomes in 3 of these domains: 1) participation in life situations; 2) physical activity; and 3) cardiovascular health. The investigators long-term goal is to develop an exercise strategy tailored to Veterans with OS which will reduce the risk of functional decline through increased PA.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in older adults and has recently been implicated in pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Research has shown that sleep disruptions have caused memory impairment. Sleep apnea is a form of sleep disruption. We would like to examine how obstructive sleep apnea may contribute to the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
Children OSA exhibit varying responses to opioids. It is unknown if the degree of intermittent hypoxemia results in different opioid sensitivity
This is the study entitled "Comparison for oral negative pressure therapy and CPAP for OSA under sleep endoscopy assistance: A randomized controlled trial". CPAP is first line golden standard treatment for Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the overall CPAP compliance is poor. Recent study reveals that oral negative pressure therapy improves apnea severity in OSA patients with good compliance. However, no study is designed to compare oral negative pressure therapy and CPAP for OSA patients. In addition, the effect of oral negative pressure therapy for hypopharynx is unclear. Therefore, we will perform druginduced sleep endoscopy to evaluate upper airway obstruction of OSA patients before treatment. OSA patients will be assigned into oral negative pressure group or CPAP group for 2 months. Sleepiness, sleep quality, residual apnea severity and compliance will be evaluated.
By clinical record review, this retrospective study aims to compare the different age groups of patients with obstructive sleep apnea, who were diagnosed and treated in Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan.
