Active clinical trials for "Snoring"

The aim of the study is to evaluate the value of a video recording of the child sleep on smartphone made by the parents and comparing it to ventilatory polygraphy (PV) on the one hand and to the clinical evaluation method (clinical examination + Spruyt and Gozal score) on the other hand.

It has been shown that a common cause for snoring and throat obstruction (obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)) is excessive loss of muscle tone in the throat when the investigators go to sleep. This results in the partial collapse of the throat (snoring) or complete collapse (OSA) during sleep. 45% of the male population snore. Sleep apnoea affects 4 to 6% of the population and is associated with increased incidence of raised blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes. Although there are several lifestyle practices associated with snoring such as smoking, obesity and drinking, a significant proportion of people may snore despite not being associated with these. A solution to this issue is to improve the muscle tone of the throat so that it doesn't collapse so easily. Several studies have shown that certain types of throat exercises can help reduce snoring. Further studies have also shown that using electrical stimulation to exercise the tongue muscles has the same effect. From this, doctors in the United Kingdom (UK) have developed a new type of device, eXciteOSA, that allows a more accurate and comfortable way of delivering this energy to exercise the tongue muscles. The device works by stimulating the tongue muscles during the day so that the tongue is less likely to collapse during sleep. It is a form of "workout" for the tongue and like other physical exercise regimes, it needs to be repeated regularly for a few weeks to take effect. The aim of this study is to see if the eXciteOSA device is as effective as the previous methods and if it can reduce snoring and improve sleep quality. This will be achieved by participants using the eXciteOSA once daily for a six week period. A two night sleep study with watchPAT along with a polysomnography will be completed before and after the therapy to compare results. Questionnaires on sleep quality and quality of life will also be completed pre and post therapy.

Pivotal clinical trial, multicenter of superiority, randomized, double-blind, parallel groups, placebo-controlled and use of nasal lubricant on snoring.

Evaluation of the Tolerance and Benefits of Mandibular Advanced Device (MAD) for Snoring and Sleep Apnea in Patients with Oropharyngeal Cancer (OPC): Mixed Design Study.

The aim of the study is to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference in snoring intensity before and after performing a Barbed Reposition Pharyngoplasty as a single-level snoring procedure. The investigators aim to determine whether this is a valid alternative to the more classical techniques of pharyngoplasty. Furthermore, the investigators also wish to map the various postoperative complications and compare them with those of the more conventional techniques. The investigators compare the snoring intensity before surgery with the snoring intensity at 2 weeks (first postoperative control), at 6 weeks (second postoperative control) and at 6 months (Third postoperative control). For the evaluation of snoring, the investigators use 4 scales/questionnaires. These questionnaires are currently also used as standard at the outpatient clinic for snoring problems. These 4 scales/questionnaires are completed at every check-up. During the first postoperative check-up, the postoperative side effects are checked (bleeding, infection, readmission, needed consultation with another doctor, date of resumption of work). The investigators also map the pain with a visual analog scale and measure this the day after the operation and let the patient fill it in 3 days, 1 week and 2 weeks after the operation.

Prospective Evaluation of a Palato-Pharyngeal Implant System (PPIS) for the Treatment of Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS): A Pilot Study.

Budesonide is one of the most common drugs uesd in children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy. This study aim to evaluate the efficacy of a short course of budesonide inhalation suspension via transnasal nebulization in children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy. The second aim is to compare budesonide inhalation suspension with budesonide aqueous nasal spray in adenotonsillar hypertrophy treatment.

This study aims to evaluate and screen out the factors related to the improvement of eustachian tube function after adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy, so as to guide the treatment of children's eustachian tube function before and after operation, and provide the treatment direction and methods for diseases related to eustachian tube dysfunction for people with adenoid hypertrophy and/or tonsil hypertrophy complicated with ETD.
