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 …
Follow-up of Apneic Patients by Visio-consultation
Prospective multicenter open-label randomized clinical trial comparing videoconsultation to a face-to-face consultation during the follow-up of apneic patients treated by continuous positive pressure (CPAP) .
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 …
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).
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).
Exploring the Use of Phototherapy to Improve CPAP Compliance
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a type of light therapy like lasers and LEDs. PBM was previously known by different terms like "low-level laser therapy" (LLLT) or "photobiostimulation." LLLT, despite its name, can also have effects beyond biomodulation, including thermal effects useful in medical imaging and therapy. PBM works by interacting with …
Positional Therapy for Childhood Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in children is a prevalent sleep disorder associated with a wide spectrum of morbidities, including neurobehavioural, cardiovascular, and metabolic complications. Positional OSA (POSA) is one of the distinct clinical phenotypes in which obstructive respiratory events occur predominantly while sleeping in the supine position. As the majority …
Whole Food Plant-based Diet Effect on Obstructive Sleep Apnea
This research aims to develop a better understanding and clinical knowledge of the effects of a plant based diet on severity and daytime sleepiness in Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
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.
