Filter by:This multicenter prospective trial will evaluate the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and blood biomarkers in a representative population of consecutively enrolled symptomatic patients with a clinical suspicion of OSA.
The purpose of this study is to improve CPAP treatment compliance of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome using an integrated telemedicine platform (MyOSA system)
This trial will assess whether long-acting levodopa taken at night improves obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), as compared with placebo.
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a condition that affects around one in 20 children. In children with OSA, repeated episodes of airway obstruction can severely disturb and fragment sleep, leading to subsequent cognitive and behavioural problems . Epilepsy affects 60,000 children in the UK and up to 30% of children with epilepsy have learning problems. Evidence suggests that OSA is more common in children with epilepsy, such that sleep disturbance could account for some of the learning problems they experience. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of OSA in children with epilepsy. The investigators plan carry out detailed sleep studies in children with epilepsy and healthy controls to determine if children with epilepsy are more likely to have OSA than healthy children of the same age. OSA is almost always treatable and the benefits of detecting and treating the condition in healthy children are well-established. If OSA proves to be a common finding in children with epilepsy, it will be important to carry out further studies to see if treating the condition has beneficial effects on learning and behaviour. This project could lead doctors to target sleep-disordered breathing as a way of improving learning outcomes in children with epilepsy.
This investigation is designed to evaluate the performance as well as the patients overall acceptance of the seal/mask.
This study aims to investigate the influence of a potential leg fluid shift (LFS) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or central sleep apnea (CSA).
This study evaluate the effect of adding dexmedetomidine intravenous infusion to propofol intravenous infusion during sedation for drug induced sleep endoscopy. Twenty five patients will receive propofol only while the other twenty five will receive propofol and dexmedetomidine.
Obesity, associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often involved in cardiovascular diseases. In our study, we want to promote sport practice to reduce that burden in the first place, and all associated diseases (e.g. cardiovascular diseases) consequently. The aim of this clinical trial is to determine which type of program, conducted in a digital environment associating a mobile application and individual coaching, better improves exercise habits over a 3-month period in overweight or moderate obese OSA patients.
The syndrome of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition that affects 2-4% of the general population, causing an increase in sympathetic activity, changes in systemic blood pressure, and is associated with cardiovascular disease. The pathophysiological mechanisms that are altered as a result of the events associated with obstructive sleep apnea (hypoxia-reoxygenation, arousals and sleep fragmentation), are associated with an increased risk of developing erectile dysfunction in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Until today, the studies linking Erectile Dysfunction with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) are epidemiological studies. The alterations in the expression profile of endothelial and cardiovascular dysfunction biomarkers and sex hormones disorders that are altered as a result of the events associated with OSA are associated to erectile dysfunction development. Treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reverses the effects of OSA and patients with erectile dysfunction may improve erectile function. The primary objective of the study is: 1. To evaluate the impact of CPAP treatment on erectile dysfunction in OSA patients. The secondary objectives are: 1. To determine the profile of synthesis of different biomarkers related to endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disorder, which are altered as a result of the syndrome of obstructive sleep apnea and its relation to the risk of developing erectile dysfunction. 2. To compare the secretion profile of sex hormones related to control erectile function in a group of patients with syndrome of obstructive sleep apnea with and without erectile dysfunction. 3. To assess the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in patients with OSA. 4. To compare the psychological profile of patients with OSA with and without erectile dysfunction in order to detect psychological distress associated with the risk of developing erectile dysfunction. 5. To evaluate the impact of CPAP treatment on the secretion profile of sex hormones related to control erectile function in OSA patients. 6. To evaluate the impact of CPAP treatment on the psychological profile of patients with erectile disfunction in OSA patients.
This investigation is designed to evaluate the performance (treatment and leak), comfort (subjective feedback), stability (subjective feedback, leak) as well as the participant's overall acceptance of the Saturn mask amongst OSA participants. An important factor in this investigation will be the testing of our two different seal sizes on the participants (small and medium size). A total number of 15 participants who currently use nasal or nasal pillow masks will be recruited for the trial. A subset of participants have been selected based on their anthropometric measurements collected in previous trials using nasal and nasal pillow masks at this site (CIA-103). Participants from previous NZ trials may be recruited into this trial with their consent. All the participants will be recruited by WellSleep, Wellington. Participants will use the trial mask in home for a period of 7 ± 3 days. Baseline data will be collected from the participant during the first visit, the prior 7 days of CPAP usage data will be downloaded and stored for our analysis. The participant will use the trial device on their usual CPAP/APAP setting and device for the duration of the trial. This study will be conducted in accordance with ICH/GCP guidelines. No deviation from the protocol will be implemented without prior review and approval of the sponsor except where it may be necessary to eliminate an immediate hazard to a research participant. In such case, the deviation will be reported to the sponsor as soon as possible.
