Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) represents an opportunity to evaluate the upper airway in sleep-like conditions. In its current clinical form, however, DISE does not routinely determine the functional impact of anatomic and neuromuscular factors on airflow obstruction. The investigators will apply nasal pressure (CPAP) during DISE to generate pressure-flow and pressure-area relationships, deriving functional determinants of upper airway obstruction during sleep. In addition, they will use objective anatomic measurements from computerized tomography (CT) and submental ultrasound. The findings will allow the investigators to streamline the upper airway exam during DISE, and will further the goal of developing personalized solutions that address specific pathogenic mechanisms of pharyngeal collapse and airflow obstruction during sleep. The investigators will use the physiologic and anatomic features derived from DISE and imaging to determine which are predictive of success to standard-of-care surgical interventions (e.g. skeletal, soft tissue, neurostimulation) .
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is a common condition associated with major repercussions such as excessive daytime sleepiness and impaired quality of life as well as metabolic and cardiovascular complications. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) remains the treatment of choice but its effectiveness remains limited, especially in reducing cardio-metabolic risk. Interventions to modify the lifestyle are therefore recommended in the management of OSA. The emergence of information and communication technologies is an opportunity for patients to have tools that promote self-management and behavioral changes. The recent development of telerehabilitation (TR) is a promising approach that has only been the subject of pilot studies. In a randomized, controlled and multicenter study, we propose to test the hypothesis according to which the use of a mobile TR solution, associated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), will allow obese patients to adopt behavioral modifications to improve markers of severity of OSA. The analysis of big data (data-mining) will allow a better understanding of the motivational obstacles and levers.
Long-term results of tonsillectomy in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in adults
To evaluate the feasibility of a sensor-less sleep monitor (Somnofy®) in diagnosis and follow-up in obstructive sleep apnea. The study will explore the monitor's usefulness in detection of apnea during sleep, and compare the data to standard diagnostic registrations.
This Research studies for compare muscle strength among OSA patients who treat with myofunctional therapy program in Rajavithi hospital
The aim of the study is to determine whether selenoprotein activity and blood renalase level correlate with subclinical hypertensive heart disease and obstructive sleep apnea. The correlation will be assessed using selected electrocardiographic, ultrasound and laboratory indicators.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a chronic condition that has serious health consequences including increased risk of hypertension, type-2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke and reduced life expectancy. This study proposes to use behavioral reinforcement and support to increase adherence to oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea. The control group in the study will receive routine care. In addition, their oral appliance wear time will be monitored using a sensor built into the appliance. Routine care includes an initial 1-hr consult, then delivery of the oral appliance (with sensor) and follow-up appointments at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. The second, experimental group will receive adherence promotion techniques in addition to routine care. These adherence promotion techniques can be categorized into 6 methods. 1- spouse/partner included in a patient counseling session. 2- Educational brochure delivery at follow up appointments. 3- Electronic reminder/communication system established by patient and provider. 4-Follow up communication between primary care physician and orthodontist. 5-Celebratory certificate for good adherence with the oral appliance evaluated at 3 month, and 6 month visits. 6-Gift card delivery, $25, when patient schedules a follow up with sleep physician. Patients will be followed for within the research protocol for 6 months. There are no additional risks involved with the research and the anticipated benefit is to develop methods to increase adherence to treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. This will benefit many patients with obstructive sleep apnea who use oral appliances to control the condition.
Simultaneous operations on the thyroid gland and hyoid suspension in patients with combined thyroid pathology and moderate to severe OSA.
Millimeter wave radar will be used to conduct non-contact monitoring continuously for patients' vital signs (eg. respiratory rate, heart rate, and chest/abdominal movement). The monitoring information will be transmitted to the central system through network and displayed in real time. Comparison with polysomnography will be done to examine the consistency between the two devices in diagnosing sleep breathing disorders. The predictive model of acute exacerbations of COPD will be established with the baseline indicators considered.
