Active clinical trials for "Sleep Apnea, Obstructive"

The main aim is to see if danavorexton can help improve people's breathing in the recovery room after abdominal surgery.

To learn whether stabilization of the tongue using intraoral suction is tolerable and what effects this approach has on sleep parameters in obstructive sleep apnea.

The main purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention in improving CPAP use compared to online peer support

Polysomnography (PSG) and drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) are widely used diagnostic studies for assessing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity and collapse patterns of the upper airway anatomy during sleep. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea suffers from variable response at the level of the soft palate. The Investigators propose a study examining the physiologic effect of ansa cervicalis stimulation (ACS) alone and in combination with HNS during PSG and DISE.

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first line therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) but has limited impact for reducing cardio-metabolic risk. Combined treatment strategies including physical activity and weight loss management have emerged in association with CPAP. Patient's engagement might be supported by connected devices and smartphone applications measuring physical activity, blood pressure, weight and sleep duration. Data fusion of these parameters with CPAP-remote telemonitoring will allow personalized coaching and integrated care of OSAS with cardio-metabolic co-morbidities.

Chronic respiratory diseases such as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) constitute a major public health problem, due to their high prevalence, but especially because of their cardiovascular and metabolic morbidity and mortality and the associated costs for the health system. The organization of long-term management of these diseases is now part of the e-health process, digital health with the use of massive "big data" generated by care and follow-up. Therapeutic patient education and the integration of connected objects will allow personalized therapeutic education support with interventions by local medical staff adapted to the needs of the patients. This will also allow to objectify the effect of treatments such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for OSA or non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and/or oxygen therapy for COPD, not only on the prevention of respiratory decompensation but also on cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors which are major elements of the prognosis. This project will therefore make it possible to demonstrate the feasibility and to deploy a multi-actor care pathway in the territory. The investigators propose a prospective clinical study, conducted at the Verdun Hospital, with the main objective of studying the evolution of the quality of life of patients with a chronic respiratory pathology, during an integrated management at home for 6 months. The secondary objectives: To study the evolution of the following parameters, before treatment (at inclusion) and after 6 months of integrated management: Treatment compliance (CPAP or NIV/oxygen therapy) Physical activity Weight Mean arterial pressure Oxygen saturation, heart rate and respiratory rate for COPD patients Severity of COPD for the patients concerned Daytime sleepiness Fatigue Patient acceptability of the use of connected objects To analyze the trajectories of the measures collected throughout the integrated management to identify specific profiles. To analyze the daily data of the different connected objects and treatments with regard to the patients' profiles (according to age, gender, comorbidities, OSA or COPD group).

This is a randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact of interscalene block on worsening of upper airway collapse in sleep disordered breathing for patients undergoing ambulatory shoulder surgery.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of nasal desobstruction surgery (septoplasty, septorhinoplasty or total ethmoidectomy) on sleep quality, assessed by the variation of the Wake after sleep onset (WASO), in patients presenting with sleep disorders and severe nasal obstruction.

The concept is a novel research idea that incorporates the potential impact of patient quality of life (QOL) on decision-making for treatment of mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Our hypothesis is that in children with mild OSA there is significant conflict with parental decision-making; in the absence of significant sleep apnea, there is limited research regarding comparative efficacy of various treatment options. The impact of a QOL questionnaire can be a significant deciding factor and may help guide management decisions in such situations.

The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) involves recurrent sleep-related upper airways (UA) collapse. UA mechanical properties and neural control are altered, imposing a mechanical load on inspiration. UA collapse does not occur during wakefulness, hence arousal-dependent compensation. Experimental inspiratory loading in normal subjects elicits respiratory-related cortical activity during wakefulness. The objective of this study is to test whether awake OSAS patients would exhibit a similar cortical activity. Whether or not such cortical compensatory mechanisms have cognitive consequences would be also analyze.
