Active clinical trials for "Apnea"

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on 24-hour mean blood pressure (BP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) varies between symptom phenotypes.

This prospective, observational cohort study aims to explore the influence of obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) on the efficacy of PD-1-based immunotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Patients who had no prior treatment for advanced NSCLC and are intended to receive PD-1/PD-L1 antibody will be recruited. According to sleep monitor results, participants will be divided into Group NSCLC and Group OSA+NSCLC. Primary outcome is the objective remission rate(ORR).

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder with prevalence rates of at least 4% among the middle-aged male Caucasians and Hong Kong (HK) Chinese populations. It is characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction, causing intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, disabling daytime sleepiness, impaired cognitive function and poor health status. OSAS patients are at increased risks of non-fatal and fatal cardiovascular morbidity and mortality including sudden death, in addition to being more prone to road traffic accidents. However, there is no long term follow up of patients with OSAS on the incidence of cardiovascular disease, compliance on the therapy and the impact of the quality of life. The study is aimed to carry out a prospective observational study assessing the role of OSAS as a possible cause of increased cardiovascular risk and cognitive decline.

The study is aimed to carry out an epidemiology study investigating the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the association with cognitive impairment.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the longer-term (6 months) effect of CPAP therapy on change in 24-hour mean blood pressure (24hMBP) in OSA subjects with the excessively sleepy symptom subtype.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether oxygen supplementation during sleep improves working memory and other clinical and patient-reported outcomes among children who have Down Syndrome (DS) with moderate to severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

This is a prospective, observational study evaluating the relationship between severity of sleep apnea with severity of cognitive fog and if treatment of sleep apnea with CPAP improves cognitive fog in a cohort of post-COVID patients with sleep apnea.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is recurrent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep that causes intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation and leads to cardiometabolic and neurocognitive sequelae. Chronic intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation of OSA, and insufficient sleep have been significantly associated with higher risks of neurocognitive impairment, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease. Thus, sleep and circadian function might be modifiable neurocognitive impairment factors. The significance of the study is to understand the relationships of MCI with sleep apnea and sleep-related symptoms, which helps pave the groundwork for further research.

The investigators propose a prospective, observational study to determine the impact of OSA and associated physiological parameters on clinical outcomes in patients with pulmonary hypertension. The prevalence, phenotypes, and predictors of OSA in the setting of pulmonary hypertension will also be investigated. Adult patients diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension by right heart catheterization are eligible. Recruited patients will undergo an overnight cardiorespiratory study using a Level III portable device before hospital discharge. The cardiorespiratory tracings during sleep will be analyzed and audited by a certified sleep physician. The patients will be divided into two groups based on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI): OSA (AHI ≥ 5) and non-OSA (AHI<5) groups. Hypoxemic parameters such as time percentage spent with oxygen saturation below 90% and nadir oxygen saturation were all collected. Baseline clinical characteristics, such as the Epworth sleepiness scales, were also obtained. The primary endpoint of this study was clinical worsening (CW), defined as the composite event of a reduction in exercise capacity, worsening in World Health Organization functional class, non-elective hospitalization for pulmonary hypertension, or all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints include individual outcomes of clinical worsening and all-cause mortality.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test if ertugliflozin lowers the sleep apnea severity in adults who are overweight or obese with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared with a placebo (look-alike substance that contains no active drug). The main question it aims to answer is: If SGLT2i will reduce anatomic and physiologic traits, clinical measures of OSA and sleep deficiency in participants If improvement in clinical measures are because of improvement in the anatomic and physiologic traits. Participants will be placed on either drug or placebo and get routine normal care for 6 months. At the start and end of the study, participants will undergo different clinical measurements to see if the drug makes the sleep apnea better.
