Active clinical trials for "Snoring"

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of acupuncture press needle in mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea patients.

The study is a thirty three week, prospective, open-label, randomized, parallel-group non-inferiority study. The study aims to investigate the Substantial Equivalence of a novel mandibular device called iSlpr™, produced by BioAnalytics, to a currently approved device, SomnoDent® Classic, in the treatment of mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) and snoring.

The Tongue Right Positioner (TRP Snorless™) is a medical device designed to restore physiological tongue positions when functioning or at rest and increase tongue muscles tone. Patient wears TRP Snorless™ daily at least 5 hours during night. Published data suggested that TRP Snorless™ increases oropharynx diameter and nasal patency, favouring airflow in upper airways. Independently of patient's adherence to daily myofascial exercises, the TRP Snorless™ treatment should increase tongue muscles' tone and decrease the risk of snoring during sleep.

The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the results of polidocanol sclerotherapy of pharynx for OSAS & SS,to reduce pharyngeal compliance.

A randomized single blind clinical trial, with a larger sample size than previous studies , to evaluate the effectiveness of injection snoreplasty in the treatment of patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) compared to oropharyngeal exercises, a low cost therapeutic modality.

This is an open, pilot study for adults ( age range of 20-70 years old), who suffer from snoring without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and no need for CPAP treatment: with standard diagnosis of sleep study or with minor sleep disorder (AHI of less than 15 events per hour). Patients with no OSA over the last year will sign an informed consent after receiving explanations from authorized physician (Professor Asher Tal). The patient will than undergo a sleep study using a mobile device PAT (Peripheral Arterial Tomography, Itamar Medical, Israel) ,an approved device in Israel, USA and many other European countries,, approved for use by the USA FDA). This sleep study is needed in order to rule out OSA, namely AHI of more than 15 events per hour of sleep. The study duration with each patient will be 48 hours (two nights); at the first night the sleep study will be with PAT device, with snoring recording and without the "Forrest" epic device. In the second night the sleep study will be with PAT device, with snoring recording and with the "Forrest" epic device. The order of the sleep studies (with and without the epic device) will be randomly determined by computerized ahead prepared list. The research duration for patients that did not have a sleep study over the last year, will take place for 3 nights; the sleep study will be performed in order to make sure the patient does not suffer from obstructive respiratory disorder during sleep. The sleep studies will take place in a sleep laboratory (Millennium Sleep Labs LTD, Beer Sheva) or as an ambulatory study, at home. Recordings over the nights with or without the "Forrest" epic device will be carried out at the patient's home, after verification that each patient sleeps alone in his/her room. The recording and data processing of snoring will be performed through the application "SNORLAB" on IPHONE 6 mobile device. Ambulatory sleep studies with PAT device will be carried out during two nights (with and without the Forrest Device) with most patients. During the examination, respiratory index will be tested such as: obstructive respiratory events during sleep, oxygen saturation in blood at rest (measured non-invasively) during sleep: mean, lowest (nadir), and rate of time the patient sleeps in with less than 90% of oxygen saturation in blood.

This study will validate whether an external vibratory stimulus applied to a subject's neck causes head, neck or jaw movement.

Purpose: In a retrospective cohort the investigators will validate, the goodness of a multidimensional index to classified the severity of patients with sleep disordered breathing that has been previously developed in a prospective longitudinal cohort.

The aim of this study is to determine the postoperative course including effects on the quality of life following soft palate surgery with radiofrequency knife (RAUP).

The investigators feel that children who have OSA or sleep-disordered breathing may have a different reaction time than normal variants. Children who have OSA are known to have behavioral and sleep patterns that are different. It makes sense their reaction time may be different than normal as well. We plan to measure reaction times via a 10 minute psychomotor vigilance test device in children who snore who are coming in for a sleep study or for adenotonsillectomy.
