NCT ID: NCT01491828 Completed - Sleep Apnea Clinical Trials

Study to Determine Results of Vibratory Stimulus on Subject's Neck

Start date: November 2011
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This study will validate whether an external vibratory stimulus applied to a subject's neck causes head, neck or jaw movement.

NCT ID: NCT01322334 Completed - Clinical trials for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Singing Exercises to Improve Symptoms of Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Start date: November 2005
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Upper airway resistance during sleep can present with a range of symptoms from simple snoring (SS) through to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Pharyngeal narrowing or collapse leads to reduction or cessation in airflow during sleep, and is associated with loud snoring. The investigators hypothesized that regular singing exercises could strengthen pharyngeal muscles and/or increase their resting tone, and lead to an improvement of symptoms and thus quality of life in patients with all forms of snoring.

NCT ID: NCT01223859 Completed - Snoring Clinical Trials

Pretreatment Assessment of Oropharynx Ans Soft Palate Radiofrequency Surgery - a Multi-center Study

Start date: January 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Interstitial radiofrequency (RF) surgery of the soft palate (SP) is an established option in the treatment of habitual snoring. The decision making process in the management of habitual snoring would benefit from diagnostic guidelines for oropharyngeal findings. The aim was to investigate the correlation of systematic clinical pretreatment oropharyngeal examination scores with the efficacy of interstitial RF surgery of SP in a multi-center study

NCT ID: NCT01175421 Completed - Sleep Apnea Clinical Trials

Multidimensional System as Predictor of Outcomes in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: The OSA-SCORE

OSA-SCORE
Start date: May 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Purpose: In a retrospective cohort the investigators will validate, the goodness of a multidimensional index to classified the severity of patients with sleep disordered breathing that has been previously developed in a prospective longitudinal cohort.

NCT ID: NCT00918437 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Postoperative Pain Course After Uvulopalatoplasty

Start date: June 2005
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The aim of this study is to determine the postoperative course including effects on the quality of life following soft palate surgery with radiofrequency knife (RAUP).

NCT ID: NCT00832026 Completed - Clinical trials for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Trans Nasal Insufflation for the Treatment of Snoring

TNI
Start date: July 2004
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This research is being done to examine if a nasal cannula can be used to keep the throat open during sleep, thereby treating sleep apnea. People with sleep apnea and people who snore without sleep apnea may take part in this study. Sleep apnea is a disorder caused by pauses in breathing due to repetitive closure of the throat. The most common form of treatment for sleep apnea is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. While CPAP therapy remains the simplest and most effective treatment for snoring and sleep apnea, patients have to wear a nasal mask throughout the night. For this reason, patients often have difficulty sticking to therapy. Participants enrolled in this study will spend 3-nights in a sleep laboratory. In all nights, the investigators will monitor your sleep and your breathing throughout the night. The investigators will apply several electrodes (sensors) to your scalp and face to monitor your sleep and breathing, and other sensors to your chest, abdomen, cheek, and a finger to monitor your breathing and oxygen level.

NCT ID: NCT00641810 Completed - Snoring Clinical Trials

The Effect of Caffeine Reduction on Snoring and Quality of Life

Start date: March 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Snoring is a problem for many people, often disturbing energy level, quality of sleep, and the relationship with a bed partner. Two observational studies that have indicated a relationship between the consumption of caffeine and snoring. The objective of this study will be to observe the degree of snoring and quality of sleep when caffeine intake is reduced over a period of four weeks. This will be a prospective, before-and-after study of a behavioral intervention. This study will engage thirty adults who report snoring, drink two cups of coffee or more per day (or an equivalent amount of caffeine), and have a consistent bed partner who can report on snoring severity. Both subject and partner will be asked to fill out a diary each day. The subjects will record the type of caffeine consumed, time at which each beverage was ingested, the total minutes of physical exercise, any caffeine withdrawal symptoms, quality of sleep, and energy in the morning. The partner (reporter) will rate his or her own sleep quality and energy in the morning, as well as the snoring level of the subject. Beginning the second week of the study, the subject will reduce caffeine intake to half the baseline consumption, and on the third week, will eliminate caffeine altogether. At the end of each week, the participants will be asked to mail their diaries in to the researchers and start a new series of entries. The study team will also call each week to answer any questions or concerns of the subject and reporter, and encourage continued reporting. When six weeks have elapsed following the completion of the last diary, the investigators will make a final call to the participants to record their current level of snoring, quality of sleep, and daily energy level.

NCT ID: NCT00560859 Completed - Clinical trials for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Childhood Adenotonsillectomy Study for Children With OSAS

CHAT
Start date: October 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of adenotonsillectomy surgery (removal of tonsils and adenoids) on obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children. OSAS can cause health problems including poor growth, high blood pressure, diabetes and behavioral and learning difficulties. Although adenotonsillectomy is the usual treatment for children with OSAS, it is not known with any certainty if the child's OSAS symptoms improve afterwards. This study will help determine if improvement occurs or if it does not. It will also look at whether certain groups, such as children who are overweight or of different ethnicities, are helped by the surgery.

NCT ID: NCT00477009 Completed - Clinical trials for Sleep Apnea Syndromes

Effects From a Mandibular Repositioning Appliance in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Snoring

Start date: May 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate effects from a mandibular repositioning appliance on obstructive sleep apneas, symptoms, blood pressure and markers of stress, inflammation and cardiovascular health in patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome and in patients with symptomatic snoring.
