NarcolepsySleep Apnea3 moreThe primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Armodafinil (CEP-10953) administered on a flexible-dosage regimen of 100 to 250 mg/day for up to 12 months to patients with excessive sleepiness associated with a current diagnosis of narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS)(regular users of nasal continuous positive airway pressure [nCPAP] therapy), or chronic shift work sleep disorder (SWSD).
Armodafinil (CEP-10953) in Treatment of Excessive Sleepiness Associated With Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea...
Obstructive Sleep ApneaHypopneaThe primary objective of this study is to determine whether treatment with Armodafinil (CEP-10953) is more effective than placebo treatment for patients with excessive sleepiness associated with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) by measuring mean sleep latency from the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) (30-minute version) (average of 4 naps at 0900, 1100, 1300, and 1500) and by Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) ratings (as related to general condition) at week 12, or last post-baseline visit.
PAP Adherence After Diet/Lifestyle Intervention in OSA Patients
Obstructive Sleep ApneaThe aim of this study is to explore the role of diet/lifestyle intervention on Positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment adherence in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).Specifically, we evaluated the effects of a combination of PAP and weight-loss Mediterranean diet intervention on improving PAP adherence, Body mass index (ΒΜΙ), daytime symptoms, mainly sleepiness and arterial blood pressure measurements over the effect of standard care alone.
Effect of Different Exercise Modalities Training in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Obstructive Sleep ApneaThe objective of this study was to compare different exercise modalities (moderate continuous intensity training, high intensity interval training, and inspiratory muscle training) on Apnea-Hypopnea index and oxidative stress in patients with Obstructive sleep apnea.
Assessment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Non-Obese Patients
Obstructive Sleep ApneaThe aim of this study is to evaluate OSAS in non-obese patients, and to compare patient characteristics, clinical markers between obese and non-obese patients.
Portable System for Non-intrusive Monitoring of Sleep
Sleep ApneaObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent kind of sleep-disordered breathing affecting one-seventh of the world's population. Almost 45 percent of this population suffers from mild to severe apnea. However, in many cases it remains undiagnosed, leading to increased health risks. Sleep-disordered breathing, as seen in OSA, can have serious long-term consequences, including sympathetic nervous system activation, sleep disturbances, heart remodeling, and cardiovascular disease development. Polysomnography is the standard method for assessing sleep-breathing disorders, which requires the attachment of various sensors by a trained technician or a healthcare professional. However, if the diagnosis of OSA depends on referral to a sleep laboratory, and if the referral is reliant on symptoms of an OSA syndrome, then current screening approaches may exclude a large population of individuals at risk. Besides, the number of sleep centers and caregivers is limited, and the associated costs are high. Therefore, alternative techniques allowing home monitoring are necessary. The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the accuracy of the Kinocardiography technique in detecting apneic episodes during sleep and comparing the results with the gold standard polysomnography in 47 patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. We hypothesize that this device is able to detect sleep-disordered breathing events, and thus to compute the apnea-hypopnea index, with an accuracy that is close to that of the polysomnography. Participants who meet the criteria will be invited to participate in this protocol and do both polysomnography and kinocardiography records simultaneously at night during sleep.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea as a Risk Factor for Normal Tension Glaucoma and a Crucial Step in Preventing...
Normal Tension GlaucomaObstructive Sleep ApneaThe purpose of this research study is to learn more about the relationship between Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Normal Tension Glaucoma (NTG). OSA is a nighttime disorder of the upper airway that causes an intermittent lack of oxygen while sleeping. NTG is a type of glaucoma that occurs despite the normal intraocular pressure levels, making its detection more difficult. Left untreated, irreversible optic nerve damage and extensive vision loss can result. Previous research has shown some evidence between OSA and the development of NTG. The investigators are researching whether undergoing treatment for OSA would help to improve the vascular health to the retina, and in effect, improve the early signs of visual dysfunction seen with diagnostic testing.
A Study to Evaluate the Respiratory Safety of Lemborexant in Adult and Elderly Participants With...
Sleep ApneaObstructive3 moreThe primary purpose of the study is to determine whether lemborexant increases the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) on Day 8 of treatment in adult and elderly participants (adults greater than or equal to [>=] 45 to less than [<] 65 years; elderly >=65 to 90 years) with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared with placebo, and using pulse oximetry determine whether lemborexant decreases the peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) during total sleep time (TST) on Day 8 of treatment in adult and elderly participants (adults >=45 to <65 years; elderly >=65 to 90 years) with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) compared with placebo.
Adherence and Quality of Life of CPAP for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Sleep ApneaObstructiveA multicentre, randomized controlled trial (RCT) design.The control group followed the usual treatment, while the intervention group (PIMA) followed the treatment with an adapted and flexible care plan depending on socio-demographic, clinical and psychological variables. The treatment plan includes different channels (home, telephone, care center), a continuous evaluation, and the use of the motivational interview in each of the interventions with the patient. The main outcome was adherence. Secondary outcomes were quality of life, emotional state, activities, social relationships, perceived competence and motivation.
