Active clinical trials for "Sleep Apnea, Obstructive"

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and has major health implications but treatment options are limited. OSA patients show a marked reduction in upper airway (UA) dilator muscle activity at sleep onset and this phenomenon leads to increased collapsibility of UA compared to normal subjects. In this protocol the investigators will test the effect of LTM1201AZ, LTM1201AT, LTM1201AD, LTM1201AG administered before sleep on OSA phenotype traits and OSA severity during sleep.

The proposed study is a randomized controlled trial among an anicipated 180 participants with acute ischemic stroke and mod/severe OSA diagnosed by ambulatory polysomnography (PSG) comparing PAP treatment with usual care concerning the primary outcome of functional recovery.

The ExVent is an optional accessory to the O2Vent Optima MAD and provides oral Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP). Oral EPAP with the ExVent is designed to provide upper airway support via similar mechanisms of action of nasal EPAP devices in commercial distribution, e.g., passive dilatation of the airway, which reduces flow limitation. Nasal EPAP devices are in commercial distribution as stand-alone therapies for the treatment of OSA. The oral EPAP provided by the ExVent accessory is designed to augment the OSA therapy provided by the O2Vent Optima.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of retatrutide in participants who have obesity or overweight (J1I-MC-GZBJ master protocol) including subsets of participants who have knee osteoarthritis (OA) (J1I-MC-GOA1) or who have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (J1I-MC-GSA1). This study will last about 89 weeks and will include up to 24 visits.

This is an open-label study of the combination of atomoxetine and oxybutynin (ato-oxy) in children with Down syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) documented by polysomnography (PSG). Participants will receive ato-oxy for 6 months. Ato-oxy dose will be 5 mg oxybutynin and 0.5mg/kg/day (max 40 mg) atomoxetine. Dosing of the study treatment will occur approximately 30 minutes prior to bedtime. Participants who withdraw from the study will not be replaced. Study participants will undergo eligibility screening that will include an initial screening to determine whether non- PSG enrollment criteria are met, followed by a 1 night in-lab PSG and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and cognitive assessment for participants who qualify based on non-PSG criteria. For participants who are eligible and enroll in the study, the screening PSG night will serve as the baseline measure for apnea hypopnea index (AHI) and other PSG endpoints. On the final night of dosing for ato-oxy participants will return for inpatient PSG and health-related quality of life assessment and cognitive assessment. The primary efficacy endpoint is the change in obstructive AHI from baseline.

This study will investigate why some people have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and how the underlying cause may relate to OSA manifestations (including sleepiness and high blood pressure) and response to different therapeutic approaches (ie CPAP, eszopiclone, and supplemental oxygen). Understanding why someone has OSA could affect how best to treat that individual, but may also have an impact on what problems the disease might cause.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and multifactorial neurodegenerative disease. Before progressing to AD, individuals may experience mild cognitive impairment (MCI). While these individuals with MCI have an increased risk of progressing to AD, emerging studies reveal that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a risk factor for both MCI an well as AD. Thus, it is worthwhile to identify clinical management or interventions that retard the conversion of subjects with comorbid MCI and OSA and AD. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study proposed herein aims to examine the effect of trazodone on reducing level sST2 and protein markers that are associated with neurodegeneration in the plasma of subjects with comorbid OSA and MCI. In this 1-year study, 124 study participants will undergo a series of neurocognitive assessments.

Postoperative pain management in pediatric patient with tonsillectomy is challenging. Despite being used in many procedures for postoperative pain management, perioperative ketorolac usage in pediatric tonsillectomy surgery is very limited. A recent survey shows that only 8.2% of anesthesiologists use NSAIDS for perioperative management of children with OSA undergoing adenotonsillectomy. We propose to conduct a perspective, randomized study to investigate the opioid-sparing effect of perioperative ketorolac in pediatric patients who have tonsillectomy.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and associated with many adverse health consequences, but many patients are unable to tolerate standard therapies such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and thus remain untreated. Single-drug therapies have shown promising results in treating sleep apnea, but on average patients have only experienced partial relief. Multi-drug therapy may offer a more effective treatment approach. The goal of this study is to test the effect of combination therapy with three FDA-approved drugs (Diamox [acetazolamide], Lunesta [eszopiclone] +/- Effexor [venlafaxine]) on OSA severity and physiology.

The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a significantly higher in people after spinal cord injury (SCI) than in the general population. As a positive pressure therapy (CPAP) is often poorly tolerated, a mandibular advancement device (MAD) can be used for the treatment of OSA. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of MAD in people with SCI and to verify their adherence to the therapy.
