Filter by:This cohort study aims to investigate the impact of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSA) on pregnancy and fetal outcomes. The hypothesis posits that OSA may aggravate pregnancy complications, elevate the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, and potentially impact fetal development.
The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the impact of maxillomandibular advancement surgery on the quality of life in patients treated with obstructive sleep apnea. The main question it aims to answer is: Does MMA surgery in OSA patiënts improve their quality of life? Patients will answer online surverys about their QoL and there will be data collected like length, weight and blood pressure.
The aim of this study is to investigate its validity and reliability of the questionarre whose original English name was "Calgary Sleep Apnea Quality of Life Index" which we plan to translate into Turkish as Sleep Apnea Quality of Life Index.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of an individually tailored lifestyle intervention on symptoms and severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), physical activity (PA) levels and sedentary behavior (SB), as well as health and wellbeing in overweight participants with moderate to severe OSA treated with CPAP. Emphasis of the individually tailored SEMC-intervention (protocol of the Sports Medicine Outpatient Clinic of The Wellbeing Services County of Central Finland) is on increasing the amount of total physical activity. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: - Can individually tailored lifestyle intervention, in combination with CPAP therapy, alleviate the severity or symptoms of OSA in overweight participants with moderate to severe OSA? - Does the addition of an individually tailored lifestyle intervention to CPAP therapy improve the quality of life, increase physical functioning, change body composition, and increase physical activity levels or decrease sedentary behavior of participants diagnosed with moderate to severe OSA? - Can enhanced behavioral support (EBS), when integrated with lifestyle intervention and CPAP therapy, lead to more substantial and enduring changes in participants' levels of physical activity or sedentary behavior? Participants will be randomized to either SEMC-intervention group, combination of SEMC-intervention and EBS, or to a control group. In this study, it is hypothesized that participants receiving SEMC-intervention in combination with CPAP therapy will experience greater alleviation of OSA severity and symptoms, improve their quality of life, body composition and physical functioning, as well as increase physical activity levels and decrease their sedentary behavior compared to the control group. In addition, it is hypothesized that participants receiving SEMC-intervention and EBS in combination with CPAP therapy will increase their physical activity levels, and decrease their sedentary behavior to a greater extent, and these changes will be more sustained compared to merely SEMC-intervention or control group.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if melatonin works to treat comorbid insomnia in adults with OSA and nocturnal non-dipping blood pressure pattern. The main question it aims to answer is: Does melatonin maintain sleep during night and recover the dipping blood pressure pattern?
The primary purpose of this randomized controlled trial s to investigate whether surgical reduction of palatine tonsils (tonsillotomy) is a superior treatment compared to complete surgical removal of palatine tonsils (tonsillectomy) in adults patients with obstructive sleep apnea and concomitant enlarged tonsils in regards of perioperative and postoperative morbidity.
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common condition in which the upper airways (windpipe) collapse repeatedly during sleep, blocking the flow of air into the lungs. It is characterized by repetitive pauses in breathing during sleep, despite the effort to breathe, and is associated with a reduction in the amount of oxygen in the blood (oxygen saturation). People with OSA are at risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, depression, and premature death. OSA is usually treated using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine. This involves the patient wearing a face mask during sleep which is connected to the machine which supplies a constant steam of air to help keep the airways open. This improves the symptoms and hopefully the long-term outlook, but it is an uncomfortable solution. OSA is associated with obesity and weight loss can improve or even cure it. Treatment with EndoBarrier (placement of a thin flexible tube that is placed inside your intestine creating a physical barrier between the intestinal wall and the food so less can be absorbed) can be associated with significant weight loss and can improve blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes related to their weight (diabesity). This study aims to find out if EndoBarrier treatment can improve OSA in patients with diabesity to the extent that some patients no longer require their CPAP machine treatment.
Obesity is a major risk factor for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), the most common sleep-disordered breathing related to neurocognitive and metabolic syndromes, type II diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Although strongly recommended for this condition, there are no studies on the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary weight loss and lifestyle intervention including nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, and smoking and alcohol cessation in women. INTERAPNEA-Women is a randomized controlled trial with a two-arm parallel design aimed at determining the effects of an interdisciplinary tailored weight loss and lifestyle intervention on OSA outcomes. The study will include 180 females aged 18-65 with a body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2 and severe to moderate OSA randomly assigned to usual care (i.e., continuous positive airway pressure), or interdisciplinary weight loss and lifestyle intervention combined with usual care. Outcomes will be measured at baseline, intervention end-point, and six-month post-intervention, including apnoea-hypopnoea index (primary outcome), other neurophysical and cardiorespiratory polysomnographic outcomes, sleep quality, daily functioning and mood, body weight and composition, physical fitness, blood biomarkers, and health-related quality of life. INTERAPNEA may serve to establish a cost-effective treatment not only for the improvement of OSA and its vast and severe comorbidities, but also for a potential remission of this condition.
This study is aimed to validate the questionnaire called Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire on a Swedish cohort of children from 18 months to 15 years old with obstructive sleep disordered breathing.
A validation study has been designed to assess the performance of a home sleep test device, TipTraQ, for screening sleep apnea. The study involves participants wearing the TipTraQ device on their fingertip during a traditional sleep test, known as polysomnography (PSG), conducted in a sleep center. The performance of the device will then be evaluated by comparing the results from the TipTraQ system with those from the traditional sleep test.
