A Study Assessing Adult Patients Referred to an NHS Sleep Service With Suspected Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. This Study Aims to Compare the Sunrise Wearable Diagnostic Device Performance and Potential Inclusion in a NHS Diagnostic Pathway With Oximetry and WatchPAT Which Are Currently Used.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the Sunrise device (that measure small jaw movements) can improve the diagnosis and management of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) in adults (≥ 18 years) referred to a Sleep Clinic. The main question it aims to answer are: \- Does Sunrise …
Intermittent Hypoxia-initiated Plasticity in Humans: A Multi-pronged Therapeutic Approach to Treat Sleep Apnea and Overlapping Co-morbidities
The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is high in the United States and is a major health concern. This disorder is linked to numerous heart, blood vessel and nervous system abnormalities, along with increased tiredness while performing exercise likely because of a reduced blood supply to skeletal muscles. The …
OSA-18 in Children With Mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Can it be a Helpful Decision Making Tool?
The concept is a novel research idea that incorporates the potential impact of patient quality of life (QOL) on decision-making for treatment of mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Our hypothesis is that in children with mild OSA there is significant conflict with parental decision-making; in the absence of significant sleep …
Community Health Advocates for Motivating PAP Use in Our Neighborhoods.
The purpose of this research is to compare the impact of motivational enhancement therapy (MET), delivered by culturally congruent community health care workers (CHWs) versus usual care patients with previously untreated moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy.
Enhancing PAP Adherence Among Spanish-speaking Hispanic Adults With OSA
This study seeks to enhance long-term positive airway pressure (PAP) adherence among Spanish-speaking Hispanics, a group with known PAP outcomes disparities. This study will assess the feasibility of a linguistically and culturally adapted tele-management intervention (Automated Management, AM) for Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults with OSA.
Endotypic Traits and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Surgery
This study will examine factors associated with outcomes after soft palate surgery and medications (acetazolamide, eszopiclone) that may treat other potential causes of obstructive sleep apnea (loop gain, arousal threshold).
Bright Light Therapy for OSA
Persistent daytime symptoms of sleepiness in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are using Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) are associated with adverse long term medical and functional outcomes. Supplementary exposure to bright light has beneficial effects on sleep quality and daytime vigilance in healthy individuals and it has …
Stellate Ganglion Block in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of stellate ganglion block in Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The main question it aims to answer are: • Can stellate ganglion block improve Obstructive Sleep Apnea? Patients were randomly divided into two groups, all provided with routine therapy. Based on …
Lifestyle and Physical Activity as Part Of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of an individually tailored lifestyle intervention on symptoms and severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), physical activity (PA) levels and sedentary behavior (SB), as well as health and wellbeing in overweight participants with moderate to severe OSA treated with …
Oropharyngeal Exercises to Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The goal of this study is to determine whether a randomized controlled trial using oropharyngeal exercises to treat sleep apnea is feasible. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard therapy for Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but it is poorly tolerated by many patients. Oropharyngeal exercises (OPEs) which are commonly …
