Filter by:In this randomized double-blinded clinical trial, 400mg of hydroxychloroquine will be given daily to people over the age of 65 years with moderate-severe obstructive sleep apnea for 8 weeks. The aim of this study is to test whether hydroxychloroquine can improve endothelial function.
This Stage II randomized, controlled, longitudinal trial seeks to assess the acceptability, feasibility, and effects of a driving decision aid use among geriatric patients and providers. This multi-site trial will (1) test the driving decision aid (DDA) in improving decision making and quality (knowledge, decision conflict, values concordance and behavior intent); and (2) determine its effects on specific subpopulations of older drivers (stratified for cognitive function, decisional capacity, and attitudinally readiness for a mobility transition). The overarching hypotheses are that the DDA will help older adults make high-quality decisions, which will mitigate the negative psychosocial impacts of driving reduction, and that optimal DDA use will target certain populations and settings.
The aim of our study is the analysis of sleep phases and quality as well as the detection of respiratory pauses in subjects with cognitive disorder. To assess whether sleep quality is associated with the blood-brain barrier and Alzheimer's disease, which may be indicative of an early, non-invasively measurable change in brain activity in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease.
This study evaluates the correlation of the position of the head during sleep, independent of the position of the torso, and the severity of apnea hypopneas in obstructive sleep apnea.
This study tested a low-resource, brief telephonic health coaching intervention to improve adherence to positive airway pressure therapy for treatment of sleep apnea.
The AMISLEEP study is nested in the "FRENCHIE" registry. The objective is to use routine clinical and polygraphic data to capture SDB/SAS (Sleep Disordered Breathing/Sleep Apnea Syndrome) physiological heterogeneity in relation to clinically relevant cardiovascular outcomes. Specifically, the investigators hypothesize that unique clusters (phenotypes) of patients could be identified by applying unsupervised learning methods to these data and that the clusters would be differentially associated with risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes (ACS), TIA, stroke or death). The ultimate goal is to identify patients more at risk that could be included in interventional studies that would test whether SDB/SAS treatment can improve this risk.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Asate Silent Sleep Training on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity in patients with mild to moderate OSA. The Asate Silent Sleep Training is a muscle strengthening program that uses exercise equipment (a musical instrument that is based on the didgeridoo). The equipment is connected to an application, which provides instruction on how to perform the strengthening exercises, measures the sound produced by the musical instrument, which enables the app to provide feedback on whether the individual should blow less or more and also tracks adherence to the strengthening program.
The objective of this project is to gather research data and subsequently evaluate algorithms to demonstrate clinical efficacy of a novel sleep apnoea detection system in the paediatric population. The Study will involve patients who will have been referred for diagnosis of sleep apnoea, and the ultimate aim will be to compare the output of a novel apnoea detection system against in -clinic polysomnography.
Sleep apnea syndrome has an estimated incidence of 2 to 4% in the adult population and more so in men and with aging. It is an independent risk factor for mortality. Cardiovascular pathologies, diabetes, and stroke are known comorbidities with a high rate of association. There is no recommendation to screen these patients although the interest is assumed and sleep apnea syndrome is largely underdiagnosed. Interrogation and clinical examination guide but they are neither sensitive nor specific. The use of scores improves screening. In the general population, the Berlin score has a high false negative rate. The STOP-BANG score is sensitive but with a poor positive predictive value. Combined, these scores can be used to detect Sleep Apnea Syndrome. The interest of a management was especially shown for the very symptomatic syndromes because it is a pledge of observance of the treatment, itself necessary for the effectiveness in the prevention of the cardiovascular complications.
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).
