Filter by:The primary study objective is to investigate sensitivity and specificity of a wrist sensor pulse oximeter (the Oxitone Medical Oxitone 1000M device) to screen for obstructive sleep apnoea. This study will involve thirty participants attending a sleep centre suspected of suffering from obstructive sleep apnoea (case finding screening). The secondary objective is to assess patient convenience with the screening procedure.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effect of sleep apnea and low oxygen on muscle strength and lung function in people with chronic spinal cord injury.
This study will evaluate the effect of treatment of obstructive sleep apnea on insulin sensitivity in pregnant women. Women in their third trimester of pregnancy will be randomized to receive treatment or no treatment for one month.
This investigation is designed to evaluate the comfort, ease of use and performance of a trial nasal mask for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in the home environment.
This study purpose is to evaluate the association between Retinal Vein Occlusion and Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Participants will have an overnight polysomnography (recording apnea-hypopnea index), MRI (brain structure), and a sleep symptoms questionnaire for baseline data. Participants will then undergo 6 weeks of whole body vibration (using the whole body vibration device), 3 times a week for 30 minutes sessions. After 6 weeks, participants will have complete another polysomnography, MRI and sleep questionnaire.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a behavioral sleep treatment improves functioning and sleep in Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
This clinical trial will examine the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in improving psychosocial, neurocognitive and behavioral consequences of moderate-to-severe sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) in people living with spinal cord injury (SCI).
The POACH study is part of the Cardiosleep research program. It is a prospective, observational, multicentre study conducted in Singapore. The recruitment target is 1365 patients. Eligible patients with AF and high cardiovascular risk will be recruited for a home-based sleep study using a FDA-approved portable device. The patients will be divided into 2 groups based on the presence or absence of OSA using apnoea-hypopnoea index ≥ 15 events/hour. The AF will be treated as per local standard practice. Participation in the POACH study will not affect the management of AF. Follow-up will be conducted every 6 months until the median follow-up duration has reached 2 years. The primary endpoint is a four-component composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke and heart failure hospitalisation. Antecubital venous blood samples will be taken from the patients in the morning after the sleep study for targeted mass spectrometry which will measure 83 circulating metabolites. Sparse Principal Component Analysis will be used for data reduction. Identification of distinct associations between metabolic perturbations and OSA will be performed.
Background: Previous studies have reported that intermittent hypoxia in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with tumor progression, metastasis and treatment outcomes. However, studies explaining the relationships between specific types of cancer and OSA are needed. In this study, it is aimed to show the effect of excessive daytime sleepiness as determined by Epworth sleepiness scale(ESS) and the effect of OSA risk determined by STOP BANG questionnaire on survival and treatment outcomes in lung cancer. Method: The patients who admit the palliative care outpatient clinic of our hospital with the diagnosis of lung cancer (stage 3 and stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer or limited / extensive stage small cell lung cancer) between July 2019-2020 will be assessed for excessive daytime sleepiness(EDS) and risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by Epworth sleepiness scale and the STOP-BANG questionnaire. The patients will be grouped according to the risk of OSA and EDS.Total / progression-free survival, treatment outcomes and side effects of the treatment will be evaluated comparatively.
