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 LTM1201L, LTM1201LN, LTM1201LB, LTM1201LD administered before sleep on OSA phenotype traits and OSA severity during sleep.

In previous review study, it was hypothesized that a comprehensive rehabilitation can combine both local pharyngeal muscle exercise and systemic cardiopulmonary rehabilitation for the OSA patients with oropharyngeal muscle dysfunction or ventilator drive instability. To develop a comprehensive rehabilitation model is of innovative care strategy in this study.

Intraoral Neuromuscular Training for Treatment of Snoring Objective Studies show that improving pharyngeal muscle tone can ameliorate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and snoring. The study uses an intra-oral stimulation device (SnooZeal) aimed at a population of snorers. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of intra-oral neuromuscular stimulation training during wakefulness on snoring. Methods This is a prospective study, recruiting up to 200 patients from the sleep clinics. In this study, subjects will use the intra-oral stimulation device once a day for 20 minutes each time for a period of 6 weeks. During these 6 weeks, subjects will complete a daily diary of the device use and any side effects or adverse events. Partners also complete a daily snoring score. Subjects will be followed-up for a further 2 weeks after treatment. They will complete Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and subjective sleep quality questionnaires for a further 2 weeks. Partners will also complete the post treatment snoring scores. Sleep study will be repeated. Outcome measures The objective evaluation will be based on pre- and post-treatment sleep studies, visual analogue scale (VAS) snoring scores, PSQI and subjective sleep quality questionnaire. All side effects and adverse events will be reported and acted upon according to the risk management structure.

This clinical trial compares the usual follow-up to a program of telematic control and self-management in a group of patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), few symptoms and treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The objective of the intervention is to achieve a CPAP compliance of ≥4 hours per day in at least 90% of the subjects.

This is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, repeat-dose, parallel arm, outpatient and inpatient phase 2 clinical study to examine the efficacy and safety of three dose levels of AD036 versus placebo in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

The investigation is a prospective, randomized, single blinded, crossover study. The investigation is designed to evaluate the performance, comfort and ease of use of the F&P Trial Full Face Mask Seal amongst Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) participants. A total number of 40-45 OSA participants will be recruited for the trial by the investigation site

The SFAR (French society of anesthesiology and ICU) proposed a method to detect OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) patients via videoconference. The aim of this study is to compare the result of this method with the results of polysomnography (PSG) which remains the gold standard in the detection of OSA patients.

This study will take between 4-6 months (with first patient first visit to last patient last visit expected to span 3-4 months across all study sites). Each participant will use the investigational PAP device with their own mask for a period of up to 7 nights and will complete a series of questionnaires upon completion. The study will evaluate the usability and efficacy of the investigational device in the intended use environment by the intended use population.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing coronavirus disease, Covid-19, has spread rapidly across the globe since its emergence in January 2020. As of January 2021, there are 87.6 million confirmed cases worldwide, with 1.9milion deaths. In conjunction with this high disease incidence, there have also been reports of Covid-19 related sleep disordered breathing, with up 18% in a Chinese study and 57% in an Italian study of individuals with Covid-19 reporting sleep disturbance. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common, chronic condition due to partial or complete upper airway collapse during sleep. OSA is more common in males & obese individuals, both of which are more adversely affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Furthermore, inflammation of the upper airway, or nasal passages leading to congestion could lead to a compromised upper airway during sleep and subsequently, obstructive sleep apnea. We believe that's SARS -CoV-2 infection, and subsequent Covid-19 will lead to an altered microbiome in the upper airway. This is turn will lead to worsening nasal inflammation and congestion, which could predispose individual with previous Covid-19 disease to OSA. Additionally, OSA is treated with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) a machine which delivers pressurized air into the upper airway via a face mask. This keeps the upper airway open during sleep. When CPAP is well tolerated by individuals, it works well to reduce the symptoms of OSA. Unfortunately, many patients find it difficult to tolerate CPAP. One reason often reported for poor tolerance is nasal congestion. We believe that an altered upper airway microbiome, due to previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, will affect treatment adherence to CPAP therapy. Secondly, we will investigate if treatment with CPAP therapy causes any change in the upper airway microbiome.

The SEED study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) of 3 escalating dose combinations of atomoxetine with AD313 compared to baseline and to atomoxetine alone.
