Impact of Tele-visit on Patients Continous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Follow-up by Home Care Provider
To determine the impact of telecare on continous positive airway pressure (CPAP) patients follow up by home care provider (HCP)
Impact of Muscle Training Device on Non-Severe OSA
The goal of this clinical trial is to test for the efficacy of the newly invented device #DidgeriTU with non-severe obstructive sleep apnea. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can DidgeriTU reduce apnea events in patients with non-severe obstructive sleep apnea? Researchers will compare DidgeriTU with a …
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Sex-Specific Responses to N-acetylcysteine (NAC)
This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 4 weeks of study supplement N-acetylcysteine (NAC) versus placebo in persons with significant obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are receiving positive airway pressure therapy (PAP), the standard of care therapy. The purpose of the study is to determine if NAC is associated …
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 …
Rescue Pharmacotherapy for OSA
Persistent obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in people treated with mandibular advancement device (MAD) or hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS). For most patients, these treatments are the last line of defense. If MAD or HGNS do not work, then patients are left to suffer the consequences of undertreated OSA. In …
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 …
Optic Nerve Injury in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients
Ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) is damage to the optic nerve caused by ischemia and hypoxia of the optic nerve due to an impairment of the blood supply to the optic nerve from the arteries. Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypoventilation Syndrome (OSAHS) is a sleep-breathing disorder characterized by recurrent upper airway obstruction …
Assessment of Circuit Rebreathing During CPAP Therapy
The goal of this research is to better understand how different CPAP mask designs affect airflow and rebreathing of exhaled carbon dioxide (CO₂) during sleep in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
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.
Oromyofunctional Therapy: a Rehabilitation Program for OSA in Children With Down Syndrome and Prader-Willi Syndrome
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent medical condition with important implications for overall health and quality of life in both children. Therefore, it is important to treat OSA early and effectively. Children with Down syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome have many predisposing factors for OSA, including mouth breathing, narrow upper …
