Magnetic Apnea Prevention(MAGNAP) Device to Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea:First-In-Human Study of Feasibility and Safety
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of the Magnap magnetic device in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Effectiveness of an E-health Intervention in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
Obstructive sleep apnoea is a highly burdensome condition that not only impairs function but also confers a risk of cardiovascular disease. This is particularly evident among those who are poorly compliant with continuous positive airway pressure ventilation therapy. In the management of a chronic and frequent pathology such as OSA, …
Patient-centered and Neurocognitive Outcomes With Acetazolamide for Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a severe type of snoring causing people to choke in their sleep. It affects millions of Americans, causing many health problems. For example, patients with OSA often feel very sleepy and are at risk of falling asleep while driving. OSA also causes elevated blood pressure, …
Effects of Lung Volume on Upper Airway Patency During Drug Induced Sleep Endoscopy
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder where a person has recurrent choking episodes during sleep. Surgery can treat OSA and drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is a procedure that surgeons use to evaluate the throat while a person is sedated, mimicking sleep, to help determine if surgery might be …
Ansa Cervicalis and Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation in OSA
Polysomnography (PSG) and drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) are widely used diagnostic studies for assessing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity and collapse patterns of the upper airway anatomy during sleep. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea suffers from variable response at the level of the soft palate. The …
Time Restricted Eating in Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder that is associated with both cardiovascular and metabolic dysfunction, such as hypertension, increased blood glucose levels and diabetes, obesity, and nonalcoholic fatty liver. While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), the best available OSA treatment, has been shown to improve blood pressure …
Effects of Physical Activity on OSA Severity Based on the Level of Fluid Shift
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by complete or partial upper-airway collapse during sleep associated with sleepiness. OSA causes severe impairments in quality of life (sleepiness, tiredness, concentration difficulties). Moreover, OSA has adverse consequences on the cardiovascular system by causing intermittent hypoxia, increased sympathetic nervous system activation and vascular endothelial …
Dexmedetomidine Versus Propofol Sedation for Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy in Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea
This research study is designed to learn, first, whether two anesthetics have different effects on collapse seen within the upper airway during sleep endoscopy. A second purpose is to learn whether collapse at several levels of the upper airway is associated with obstructive sleep apnea that persists after adenotonsillectomy, the …
DISE: Phenotyping Obstruction Patterns
Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) represents an opportunity to evaluate the upper airway in sleep-like conditions. In its current clinical form, however, DISE does not routinely determine the functional impact of anatomic and neuromuscular factors on airflow obstruction. The investigators will apply nasal pressure (CPAP) during DISE to generate pressure-flow and …
Pharmacological Activation of HMN for OSA Aim 2
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and has major health implications but treatment options are limited. OSA patients show a marked reduction in upper airway (UA) dilator muscle activity at sleep onset and this phenomenon leads to increased collapsibility of UA compared to normal subjects. In this protocol the investigators …
