Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the benefits of patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure on patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and persistent hypoxia despite optimal therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 12-week solriamfetol administration in the treatment of EDS in patients with OSA from China, using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, parallel-design.
Oropharyngeal muscle training has emerged as a novel adjunctive treatment approach, involving training of the swallowing muscle group and tongue muscles to prevent tongue collapse, reduce tongue base volume during sleep, and strengthen muscle tension. Therefore, the objective is to assess changes in oropharyngeal muscle strength, ultrasonographic tongue morphology, severity of sleep related breathing interruptions, clinical symptoms, and correlations among these factors. Oropharyngeal muscle training for patients with residual OSA using MAD can significantly 1. increase muscle strength and endurance. 2. reduce the severity of sleep-related breathing interruptions. 3. decrease clinical symptoms. 4. improve tongue morphology.
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a breathing problem that happens when you sleep. It is treated by a machine called continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. The goal of this observational trial is to test how well a new wearable device can detect ongoing OSA in patients undergoing treatment with CPAP. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the new wearable device detect OSA in patients undergoing treatment with CPAP as well as gold standard sleep studies? 2. Does the new wearable device detect OSA in patients undergoing treatment with CPAP more accurately than the CPAP machine can itself. Participants will be asked to wear the following two devices while using their CPAP machine for 2 nights: 1. AcuPebble SA100 (the new wearable device). This device is the size of a 2-pence coin and sits on the front of the neck and attaches via some double sided sticky tape. It is connected via bluetooth to a mobile phone application (app). 2. A multi-channel sleep study, which is the gold standard way of performing sleep studies. Researchers will then compare how much OSA is left in participants, comparing the values from the new device, gold standard sleep study and the CPAP machine itself.
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can lead to severe health issues if untreated. While polysomnography is the gold standard for diagnosis, current surgical treatment in Denmark relies on caregiver reports and clinical exams. Approximately 25% of patients have persistent symptoms post-surgery, indicating the need for better diagnostic and treatment options. Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) allows dynamic upper airway visualization during mild sedation, aiding in treatment decisions. This research project aims to evaluate the impact of DISE-guided interventions on pediatric OSA outcomes and compare its effectiveness and cost/benefit with traditional diagnostic approaches.
the study aims to evaluate the accuracy correlation between subjective perception of the air flow through airways from patients and survey and/or polysomnography they spent, using a brief clinical protocol they answered with a manual therapist
Objectives: To compare the response of polycythemia in terms of hematocrit decrease in patients treated with positive airway pressure (CPAP) versus patients not treated with CPAP. Methodology: Randomized, parallel-group, nonblinded, controlled clinical trial. Patients diagnosed with OSA in a respiratory polygraphy (RP) and who meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will undergo sleepiness and quality of life questionnaires, anthropometric measurements and blood tests and will be randomized to a CPAP treatment group or control group, maintaining this treatment for 12 months. A visit will be made at 12 weeks ,24 weeks and 52 weeks to check compliance with CPAP in the treatment group and to carry out questionnaires on physical activity and quality of life, anthropometric measurements, blood tests including hemoglobin and hematocrit as well as parameters related to coagulation and platelet function and changes in medication as well as adverse effects. Efficacy variables: blood count, hemoglobin, haematocrit, erythropoietin, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelets, coagulation, erythrocyte range of distribution (ADE), glucose, creatinine, glomerular filtration rate, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT), Total bilirubin, hypoxic burden, Epworth score, EuroQol- 5D questionnaire.
The purpose of this research is to see how effective the Personalized obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) Treatment Adherence Model called PRAISE is in helping the patient stick to the physician recommended OSA treatment plan Positive Airway Pressure (PAP).
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is recurrent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep that causes intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation and leads to cardiometabolic and neurocognitive sequelae. Chronic intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation of OSA, and insufficient sleep have been significantly associated with higher risks of neurocognitive impairment, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease. Thus, sleep and circadian function might be modifiable neurocognitive impairment factors. The significance of the study is to understand the relationships of MCI with sleep apnea and sleep-related symptoms, which helps pave the groundwork for further research.
The objective of this study was to compare different exercise modalities (moderate continuous intensity training, high intensity interval training, and inspiratory muscle training) on Apnea-Hypopnea index and oxidative stress in patients with Obstructive sleep apnea.
