Active clinical trials for "Sleep Apnea Syndromes"

A multicenter study to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Genio dual-sided hypoglossal nerve stimulation system for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in adults subjects.

Prevalent obesity related conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) represent an important opportunity to improve population health. OSA reduces quality of life and is associated with greater risk for cardiovascular disease. Although obesity is the single greatest reversible risk factor for OSA, patients with OSA and obesity rarely receive weight loss care to reverse OSA and other serious comorbidities. Efficacy trials reinforce that time and resource intensive lifestyle-based weight loss programs improve weight and physiologic measures of OSA severity (apnea hypopnea index, AHI). However, there are barriers to translating these findings into meaningful gains for population health. To meet these challenges, the investigators propose a pragmatic trial of proactively offering a remote video-based and self-directed lifestyle-based weight loss intervention with remote coaching to patients with OSA. The investigators primary aim is to test the effectiveness of a proactively delivered and pragmatic lifestyle intervention to improve co-primary endpoints of sleep-related quality of life and weight among patients with OSA and obesity. Secondarily, the investigators will compare additional outcomes between groups including cardiovascular risk scores, sleep symptoms, AHI, well-being, and global ratings of change. Finally, the investigators will also conduct an implementation process evaluation informed by the RE-AIM framework to identify barriers and facilitators to widespread implementation. The investigators will identify patients with OSA and obesity nationwide (n=696) in VA using data from the VA's Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW), and the investigators will contact potentially eligible patients. After confirming eligibility and consent, the investigators will randomly assign subjects to receive the study's lifestyle intervention or usual care alone. The study uses CDW to assess weight change. Subjects will complete questionnaires at baseline at 3, 12 and 21 months after randomization. The lifestyle intervention in POWER focuses on gradual lifestyle behavior change aimed at improving eating habits and increasing physical activity. It encourages participants to gradually achieve and maintain a 5-10% loss of baseline body weight and at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, such as brisk walking, each week. The lifestyle intervention program consists of watching one video, completing corresponding written self-guided learning materials, and tracking food intake and physical activity each week for the first 12 weeks, then working through 10 additional written handouts and continued food and activity tracking for the next nine months. Intervention participants will have access to a lifestyle coach as desired for the full 12-month intervention period.

The current study combines two treatments for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), oral appliances and supplemental inspired oxygen. The following aims will be tested: Aim 1. To determine whether supplemental inspired oxygen further reduces OSA severity (apnea-hypopnea index) in patients using an oral appliance. Aim 2. To determine whether baseline OSA phenotypes can predict the efficacy of oral appliances versus supplemental oxygen versus both treatments in combination. We will test whether responders to oral appliances have distinct pathophysiological characteristics compared with oxygen responders.

The purpose of this project is to determine whether obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment with positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) can delay the progression of cognitive impairment in patients with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) as measured by cognitive testing, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Study participants will be assessed at baseline, six-month (cognitive tests only) and one-year follow-up.

multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding, 4-arm, parallel assignment study to evaluate the efficacy of three different doses of sulthiame (STM) compared to placebo on sleep apnea activity in adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of the eXciteOSA device amongst a sample of patients with mild OSA. The study is a multi-center, prospective, open-label, randomized, parallel-arm trial of eXciteOSA versus no-therapy for six weeks. Up to 200 participants will be enrolled, in order to randomized n=102.

The objective of this study is to explore the safety and performance of the Genio™ system in adult obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients with and without complete concentric collapse of the soft palate over a period of 4.5 months of treatment (i.e. 6 months post-surgery) measured by the AHI, at rest to determine if there is a difference in performance between the two populations.

This is a prospective pilot to investigate the effect of 3D printer customized CPAP masks on the comfort of patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate people who have moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and have been newly prescribed a Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) machine. Patients with suboptimal adherence, defined by the Center of Medicare and Medicaid criteria (<70 % usage and <4 hours of average daily PAP usage) will be identified. The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of the sleep apnea management (SAM) grouped based-intervention on positive airway pressure adherence and patient report outcomes questionnaires (quality of life, daytime sleepiness and depressive symptoms) and PAP barrier questionnaire compared to a patient group managed by regular non-sleep prescribing provider.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is a common condition associated with major repercussions such as excessive daytime sleepiness and impaired quality of life as well as metabolic and cardiovascular complications. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) remains the treatment of choice but its effectiveness remains limited, especially in reducing cardio-metabolic risk. Interventions to modify the lifestyle are therefore recommended in the management of OSA. The emergence of information and communication technologies is an opportunity for patients to have tools that promote self-management and behavioral changes. The recent development of telerehabilitation (TR) is a promising approach that has only been the subject of pilot studies. In a randomized, controlled and multicenter study, we propose to test the hypothesis according to which the use of a mobile TR solution, associated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), will allow obese patients to adopt behavioral modifications to improve markers of severity of OSA. The analysis of big data (data-mining) will allow a better understanding of the motivational obstacles and levers.
