Postoperative Nasal High Flow Versus Oxygen for Positive Airway Pressure Non-Compliance Sleep Apnea...
Obstructive Sleep ApneaThe study aims to compare the efficacy of Nasal High Flow Therapy (NHF) with low-flow oxygen supplementation in improving postoperative intermittent desaturations. If so, this mode of therapy would provide a cost effective, relatively easy to implement, and better tolerated treatment to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) for oxygen stabilization.
Comprehensive Management for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
SLEEP APNEA SYNDROMEStudy objetives : The aim of this study is to assess the impact of a combined therapy treatment (physical exercise, oropharyngeal exercises and dietary recommendations) on symptoms and quality of life in patients with OSAS, as an alternative or addition to therapeutic treatment with nocturnal CPAP.
Australian Clinical Study of the Apnex Medical HGNS System to Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep ApneaThe overall goal of the study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and therapy settings of the HGNS System for stimulating the hypoglossal nerve to help maintain an open airway in subjects with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Respiratory Muscle Training in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) Patients
Obstructive Sleep Apnea SyndromeThe purpose of this study is to determine whether respiratory muscle training by means of normocapnic hyperpnea leads to clinical and polysomnographical improvements in patients with mild to intermediate sleep apnea syndrome.
Antihypertensive Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Resistant Hypertensive Patients...
HypertensionObstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has been linked to resistant hypertension, but the effect of treatment of OSAS on the resistant hypertension have no been established. In a double-blind randomized clinical trial patients with resistant hypertension with at least moderate sleep apnea will be randomized to receive therapeutic CPAP or Placebo CPAP for eight weeks in an ambulatory set. The investigators want to determine any difference on hypertension control between the 2 management strategies.
Education Programme on Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment
Obstructive Sleep ApneaThe purpose of this study is to examine whether an education programme would enhance continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) adherence.
New Versus Existing Auto-titrating CPAP Device to Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Adults
Sleep ApneaObstructiveObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition of disordered breathing characterised by intermittent partial and/or complete upper airway obstruction during sleep. The participants, naive to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), recently diagnosed with OSA, will undergo two automatic CPAP titration studies with collection of polysomnographic (PSG) data. The data will be analysed to assess effectiveness of Compumedics auto-CPAP device in the normalisation of sleep disordered breathing in OSA patients, with respect to another auto-CPAP device.
The Effect of the Mediterranean Diet on Obstructive Sleep Apnoea-Hypopnoea Syndrome: A Randomised...
Obstructive Sleep ApnoeaHypopnoea SyndromeThis study aims to investigate the role of the Mediterranean diet in obese patients with Obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome.
Effectiveness of the Treatment With Continuous Positive Airway Pressure(CPAP)in Stable Heart Failure...
Heart FailureSleep Respiratory DisordersThe respiratory sleep disorders are a major cardiovascular risk factor. In fact there is enough scientific evidence that supports the association between apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SASH) and cardiovascular disease (hypertension, stroke, heart failure ....The objective of this study is to estimate the effectiveness of the continuous positive pressure airway (CPAP) in patient with chronic heart failure with normal ejection fraction but dyastolic dysfunction and sleep disordered breathing during the sleep.
Sleep Disordered Breathing and Chronic Pain
Sleep Apnea SyndromesThe purpose of this study is to evaluate positive pressure in patients with chronic pain taking opioid medications who have sleep disordered breathing.
