Active clinical trials for "Sleep Apnea, Obstructive"

To follow up the progress of chronic complications in T2DM patients who had undergone anthropometric measurements, laboratory testing and standard overnight polysomnography monitor from 2013 to 2018.

OBJECTIVES: PRIMARY: To analyze the cognitive alterations in children with Obstructive Sleep Apnea OSA in different age groups and changes at 12 months after treatment with a protocol based on usual clinical practice. DESIGN: Observational, longitudinal, prospective, and multicenter study.

Adenotonsillectomy is the first line surgical treatment for children with Obstructive Sleep apnea Syndrome (OSAS). Postoperative respiratory complications (PORC) may occur and are often related to co-morbidities. Despite guidelines from different scientific groups, there is no consensus on the monitoring requirements and management of PORC in these children.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are both common diseases related to metabolic diseases with potential cardiovascular consequences and liver complications respectively. Though studies show OSA may take part in the progression of hepatic steatosis, the independent contribution of OSA on liver fat accumulation is unknown. It is hypothesized that nocturnal intermittent hypoxia from OSA is the main driver of NAFLD in non-obese OSA patients. This study is to assess the effect of OSA on NAFLD in non-obese patients.

The study is designed to develop models to predict site of collapse information using routine polysomnography. In an observational study, the investigators will study 1000 patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who have had a recent polysomnographic study and will undergo drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) as part of their standard clinical care. Flow shape information from the polysomnographic study will be associated with the DISE results, and a set of prediction models will be developed and validated to detect the site, pattern and degree of upper airway collapse as seen during DISE.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the use of non-invasive ventilation for treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome in children with Down Syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the impact of non-invasive ventilation on sleep behaviours and quality of life? What barriers are faced by children and their families in establishing tolerance to non-invasive ventilation? Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires before and after starting treatment. Researchers will compare this data with the results of sleep studies and non-invasive ventilator downloads recorded as part of standard medical care. A sub-group of up to 20 participants will be invited to take part in 45-60 minute interviews exploring expectations, experiences and barriers encountered during non-invasive ventilation therapy.

This is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized single-arm safety and performance study to collect data to evaluate the safety of the Cryosa procedure to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with moderate to severe OSA. The study will also evaluate the chronic performance of the Cryosa system and collect clinical measures for therapy effectiveness that will be used to demonstrate safety and effectiveness in the next clinical study.

Objectives: To compare the response of polycythemia in terms of hematocrit decrease in patients treated with positive airway pressure (CPAP) versus patients not treated with CPAP. Methodology: Randomized, parallel-group, nonblinded, controlled clinical trial. Patients diagnosed with OSA in a respiratory polygraphy (RP) and who meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will undergo sleepiness and quality of life questionnaires, anthropometric measurements and blood tests and will be randomized to a CPAP treatment group or control group, maintaining this treatment for 12 months. A visit will be made at 12 weeks ,24 weeks and 52 weeks to check compliance with CPAP in the treatment group and to carry out questionnaires on physical activity and quality of life, anthropometric measurements, blood tests including hemoglobin and hematocrit as well as parameters related to coagulation and platelet function and changes in medication as well as adverse effects. Efficacy variables: blood count, hemoglobin, haematocrit, erythropoietin, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelets, coagulation, erythrocyte range of distribution (ADE), glucose, creatinine, glomerular filtration rate, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT), Total bilirubin, hypoxic burden, Epworth score, EuroQol- 5D questionnaire.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious and often underreported condition, despite its highly prevalent distribution. Medical teams play an integral role in screening and managing patients with a high risk of developing OSA.

This is a randomized controlled study, aimed to investigate the effects of dinalbuphine sebacate (DS) on patients having uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). DS is a prodrug of nalbuphine, a mixed agonist-antagonist opioid. The mean absorption time for the complete release of DS into systemic circulation is approximately 145 h, which could theoretically provide extended analgesic effects for up to 6 days. Patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea are generally associated with higher risks towards opioid side effects, especially respiratory depression. Post-UPPP pain managing should be cautiously arranged and executed. We hypothesize that the combination of our routine practice and DS will improve the outcomes after Uppp.
