View clinical trials related to Sleep Apnea, Obstructive.
Filter by:This study will examine whether treatment of inferior turbinates in patients with continued symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, sleep related breathing disorder, snoring, disturbed sleeping, open mouth breathing, and upper airway resistance syndrome after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy will improve these symptoms and should be included in the treatment paradigm for treatment of sleep related breathing disorders in infants, children, and adolescents.
That the level of humidification delivered to patients during CPAP treatment will alter the subjects mucociliary clearance rate and related mucus properties.
The study will be done for the following purposes: - to see if Pillar implants in combination with CPAP therapy can help people with their OSA by decreasing the CPAP pressures - to find out if receiving Pillar implants will increase CPAP use
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is independently associated with important heart remodeling that further contributes to overt heart failure. Recent evidences using echocardiogram suggested that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has beneficial effects mainly on left ventricle parameters. However, the evidences regarding the right ventricle are scanty. In addition, no previous studies evaluated morphological and functional characteristics in OSA by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as well as the impact of CPAP.
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of Atorvastatin on the endothelial function improvement during the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) after 3 months of treatment, by a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center study. An interim analysis will be performed when 25 patients per group will be included.
Patients with sleep apnea syndrome have repeated apneic events that induce periodic hypoxia-reoxygenation, drawing away an overproduction of oxidants. This exaggerated generation of oxidants is associated with a dysfunction of the vascular endothelium that evolves, in its turn, towards cardiovascular diseases such as systemic hypertension, stroke, and myocardial infarction. The major aim of our study is to examine the effect of CPAP treatment on biochemical (markers of oxidative stress) and functional (endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation reactivity) abnormalities at 1 and 4 weeks of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of MK0249 in treating refractory excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome (OSA/HS) using nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine if an Autoadjusting CPAP machine is better than the regular CPAP machine in treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in the postoperative setting.
This is a pilot study to determine the usefulness of a newly developed, minimally invasive tongue suture procedure for people with obstructive sleep apnea.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of treatment with a steroid and antibiotic on the size of the tonsils and symptoms of children with OSAS.
