Filter by:This study evaluated the influence of the sleep bruxism (SB), awake bruxism (AB) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on the signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
This study is conducted to investigate the effects of ACT-541468 on nighttime respiratory function in patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea
Sleep disorders and disturbances are mostly underestimated in clinical practice. Moreover, this problem is generally neglected by the pregnant themselves. Today, it is important to underline any problem that may have an affect to improve the quality of life during pregnancy. This study assesses the sleep quality, insomnia patterns and obstructive sleep apnea in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.
Background: Adenoidectomy is one of the most common procedures done by the otolaryngologist. The procedure can be performed using the cold method (mainly adenoid curettes) or the hot method (suction diathermy). Both techniques have similar intra and post-operative outcomes. However, the long term clinical outcome in improving the sleep disorder symptoms was never compared between the two methods. Objective: To compare the advantages using the hot method compared to the cold method adenoidectomy in the long term follow up. Methods: A prospective, randomized, single blinded study of children undergoing adenoidectomy between the years 2014-2017. Patients were randomized to hot or cold adenoidectomy techniques. The primary outcome was change of the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire Score (PSQ) scores one month and one year after surgery.
Upper Airway Stimulation is a new therapy, which is available for patients with obstructive sleep apnea, who are non-compliant to the standard treatment continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. This study is a prospective, multi-center, double-blinded, randomized crossover study conducted under a common protocol. The study visits include baseline with an in-laboratory polysomnography (PSG) after six months of therapy usage, followed by visits and in-lab PSGs at 1 and 2-weeks where the Therapy stimulation will be changed at each, according to randomization. The objective of this randomized controlled crossover study is to assess treatment effect of Inspire UAS in patients at different time points with two different therapy settings. This study will provide additional clinical evidence of Inspire UAS for treatment of moderate to severe OSA using a randomized controlled crossover trial design.
Standard therapy in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). 30% to 50% are not adherent to this therapy and need an alternative treatment. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation or selective upper airway stimulation has been developed since several years. The aim of this clinical trial is to compare both treatments with each other.
This study evaluates treatment effect of Cervical Collar (CC) in moderate obstructive sleep apnea.The investigators believe that stabilization of the neck by using a CC during sleep helps sustain airway patency. This would mean preventing collapse of airways during sleep. The study is a randomized, open, parallel-group intervention study. The two treatment groups are: A. Patients with moderate OSA are treated with lifestyle advice (n = 50) B. Patients with moderate OSA are treated with CC and lifestyle advice (n = 50).
Current evidence suggest that sleep apnea-associated oxygen desaturations may induce cardiovascular morbidities in the long term, whereas arousals associated with sleep apneas seem to induce mainly transient nocturnal hypertension. Reducing the occurrence and the magnitude of sleep apnea-associated oxygen desaturations could therefore have a beneficial effect on sleep apnea-associated comobidities. Since sleep apneas usually end with an arousal allowing pharyngeal muscles reactivation, a treatment option could consist of generating an early short awakening to anticipate apnea termination and decrease the risk of oxygen desaturation. The aim of this study is thus to determine if an early sleep apnea termination through the emission of a sound can achieve lower oxygen desaturations compared with "untreated" sleep apneas.
This investigation is a prospective non-blinded and non-randomized clinical investigation. This investigation is to test the interpretation of user instructions of a prototype nasal mask on participants. The clinical investigation will be conducted in New Zealand and participants will interact with the user instructions in a one hour daytime visit. A minimum of 15 participants will participate in this trial.
The feasibility and the validity of the ApneaLink Air home sleep testing (HST) device will be tested in adolescent children. The ApneaLink Air HST device is cleared for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults..
