Active clinical trials for "Sleep Apnea Syndromes"

Intention to review patient letters from sleep clinic to see if their lung function fit in with Dysynapsis in wheezing patients or if it is true asthma

This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test two sleep apnea education programs for women Veterans newly diagnosed with sleep apnea (SA) who are prescribed positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. This education program is designed to improve participants' sleep quality and help them to adjust to PAP therapy. Participants will undergo a sleep and health assessment that will be performed prior to beginning the education program. This assessment includes wearing a wrist actigraph to measure sleep and wake periods for 7 days and nights, and answering questionnaires about sleep habits and health. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two 6-week education programs provided by a study interventionist. Follow-up sleep and health assessments will be conducted at the end of the 6-week education program and 3-months later. PAP usage data will be collected remotely for 12 months from PAP therapy initiation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of administering a single intravenous (IV) infusion dose of TAK-925 to adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) despite adequate use of CPAP as the primary OSA therapy.

Postoperative pain is usually treated with opioids. Among them, oxycodone is popular in the daily practice as it is administered orally and is easily titrated. However, side-effects include increase duration and frequency of apneic episodes. Some authors believe that tramadol has less impact on these apneic episodes during the first postoperative night, based on a trial that reported conclusive results only during the first 2 postoperative hours. The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effect of postoperative pain treatment of oxycodone with tramadol on apneic episodes during the first and third postoperative nights.

This study evaluates the effect of the use of nasal CPAP in the cardiac function, measured by strain and TEI index, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea and obesity. In order to do so, 76 patients will be studied, half will use sham CPAP and half will use therapeutic CPAP for three months, with echocardiogram, laboratory studies, ambulatory monitoring of arterial tension and sleep study before and after CPAP use.

Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is a commonly used orthodontic treatment in patients with maxillary constriction to provide skeletal expansion, correct posterior crossbite and resolve naso-respiratory problems by reducing oral respiration.The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effects of tooth-borne, tooth tissue-borne and bone-borne RME appliances on sleep quality with polygraphy. The null hypothesis was that there is no difference for the sleep quality between the appliances.

A study to evaluate the respiratory safety of TS-142 in patients with mild obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) syndrome is a disorder characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction that occur during sleep. The standard treatment for apnea remains a device consisting of a pump and nasal mask that provide continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The major disadvantage of CPAP is the relatively low compliance. Appscent developed a non-contact effortless bedside solution based on the following: odors modify respiratory patterns during wake . Mildly trigeminal and pure olfactory odorants do not arouse or wake.

Currently, there is no pharmacological intervention for mild symptomatic obstructive sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in the form of loud habitual snoring, inspiratory flow limitation (i.e. upper airway resistance syndrome), or mild sleep apnea. Here the investigators study the effect on SDB of stimulating pharyngeal muscles during sleep with AD036. The key hypothesis of the study is that AD036 is superior to placebo on self-reported and objective measures of SDB severity.
