Active clinical trials for "Sleep Apnea, Obstructive"

This study is investigating the effects of a telecommunications system designed to improve patient adherence with prescribed positive airway pressure (CPAP).

The purpose of this engineering trial is to develop and validate an algorithm that will deliver Paced Breathing as a ramp feature to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) subjects using Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy. In this trial the investigators will be evaluating the algorithm's ability to correctly distinguish between sleep and wake.

The aim of the investigators study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a home programme (diagnosis and follow-up) in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) syndrome treated with CPAP and to analyze the cost of this approach.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious sleep disorder in which a person repeatedly stops breathing or experiences shallow breathing for short periods of time during sleep. The most common treatment for OSA is the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine, but many people have trouble adhering to the treatment schedule. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of two behavioral therapy programs used in combination with CPAP for improving treatment adherence in people with OSA.

Newer home sleep study device and algorithm provides an alternative for inpatient sleep study and improve the service provides to patients

The purpose of this study is to compare the cytokine profile of tonsillar and peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and to compare the blood mononuclear cell cytokine secretion profile between patients with obstructive sleep apnea and controls without apnea.

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.

To identify the perceptions, beliefs, and family-relevant outcomes regarding the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) with positive airway pressure (PAP) in children with Down's Syndrome (DS).

The purpose of this trial is to investigate the mechanisms leading to weight gain during CPAP treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

The purpose of this study is to develop, refine and evaluate the feasibility of a novel couples-based intervention to improve adherence for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
