Mild Intermittent Hypoxia and Its Multipronged Effect on Sleep Apnea
Mild intermittent hypoxia (IH) initiates sustained increases in chest wall and upper airway muscle activity in humans. This sustained increase is a form of respiratory plasticity known as long-term facilitation (LTF). Repeated daily exposure to mild IH that leads to the initiation of LTF of upper airway muscle activity could …
Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea With Personalized Surgery in Children With Down Syndrome (TOPS-DS)
The overall objective of this randomized clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a personalized approach to the surgical treatment of OSA in children with Down syndrome (DS).The estimated prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children with DS ranges from 45-83%, compared to 1-6% in the general pediatric …
Down Syndrome Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The purpose of this study is to assess whether oxygen supplementation during sleep improves working memory and other clinical and patient-reported outcomes among children who have Down Syndrome (DS) with moderate to severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
Ultrasound Assessment of Tongue Characteristics in Children and Adolescents With Obesity
This longitudinal observational study aims to validate ultrasound-based tongue markers related to tongue characteristics, including fat accumulation, morphologic and mechanical properties of the tongue in children and adolescents with obesity. Participants are assessed at baseline and after completion of a standardized 30-week inpatient weight-loss rehabilitation program at the Zeepreventorium (De …
IOA Preventing Occlusal Changes With MAD Use
This study is evaluating two standard-of-care strategies used to prevent bite changes (occlusal changes) in patients treated with a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) for sleep-related breathing disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). While MAD therapy is effective, it can lead to changes in how the teeth fit together, including …
Intraoperative Ansa Cervicalis Nerve (ACN) Stimulation
Recently published data suggest that stimulation of the infrahyoid strap muscles increases pharyngeal patency in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, but the innervation of these muscles by the ansa cervicalis is variable. The investigators propose a study examining the anatomic variation of the ansa cervicalis and the effect of neurostimulation …
Changing Lifestyle in OSA Males Who Suffer Metabolic Syndrome and Impotence: Is There a Response?
The problems like metabolic syndrome and sexual impotence in males with obstructive sleep apnea are common. continuous passive airway pressure (CPAP) is an authorized treatment for this type of apnea but still the recommendations of changing lifestyles are the suggested cornerstone therapies especially in obese males
Screening Using Portable Electronic Recorders for Sleep Apnea in Hypertensive At-Risk Populations (SUPER-SHARP Trial)
Uncontrolled hypertension is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and mortality. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in hypertension and treatment using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been shown to effectively lower blood pressure. Despite its clinical significance, OSA remains underdiagnosed in patients with hypertension, because …
The Effects of Successful OSA Treatment on Memory and AD Biomarkers in Older Adults Study
The Effects of Successful OSA TreatmENT on Memory and AD BIomarkers in Older AduLts (ESSENTIAL) study is a 5-year, multicenter randomized open-label trial that will screen 400 cognitively normal older adults recruited from well-established sleep clinics at 4 academic medical centers, with newly diagnosed moderate-severe OSA. An expected 200 OSA …
Portable Sleep Monitors in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
The goal of this study is to evaluate the ability of a portable sleep monitor to detect obstructive sleep apnea in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The main study objectives are to: Evaluate the correlation between the obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI) on a portable sleep monitor and an in-laboratory …
