NCT07581938
This is a prospective, cross-sectional observational study designed to evaluate the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) as a screening tool for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) risk in a pediatric dental setting. Children aged 8-13 years will be classified as low- or high-risk for SDB based on PSQ scores and compared using physiologic sleep parameters obtained from a wearable, FDA-cleared home sleep monitoring device, alongside psychosocial assessments and craniofacial measurements derived from lateral cephalometric radiographs. Findings will inform the feasibility and accuracy of incorporating validated SDB screening into routine pediatric dental care.
NCT07564310
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and associated with impaired daytime functioning, reduced quality of life and increased cardiovascular, metabolic and perioperative risk. Mandibular advancement devices (MADs) are a guideline-supported, non-invasive alternative to CPAP for patients with mild to moderate OSA and for those with severe OSA who refuse or cannot tolerate CPAP. MAD therapy relies heavily on patient engagement and sustained use over time. However, in usual care, patients typically have limited access to objective information about their treatment response. Titration is often based on intermittent assessments and subjective symptom reporting, with little real-time feedback to patients on treatment effectiveness. This lack of visibility may limit patient understanding of their condition, reduce engagement with therapy, and delay optimisation of treatment. Advances in nocturnal oximetry now enable multi-night, home-based assessment of oxygen desaturation and related metrics. The myNarval CC solution provides patients, alongside clinicians, with access to objective oximetry data during MAD therapy. By increasing patient awareness of treatment response, this approach has the potential to enhance engagement, support adherence, and improve the overall treatment experience. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether access to oximetry data through the myNarval CC solution improves patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) compared with standard care in patients treated with MADs for OSA.
NCT06311045
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 with sex-specific changes in overnight oxidative stress, inflammation, as well as endothelial dysfunction in persons with OSA.
NCT07444372
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common clinical arrhythmias. Catheter ablation is an effective therapeutic strategy; however, recurrence rates remain substantial, ranging from 20% to 45%. Previous studies have established a strong association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the risk of AF recurrence following ablation. While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard intervention for OSA, and some observational studies suggest it may reduce post-ablation recurrence in patients with comorbid OSA, small randomized controlled trials have failed to confirm a clear benefit, potentially due to poor adherence. This study aims to evaluate the clinical benefit of post-ablation CPAP therapy in AF patients with comorbid OSA. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the CPAP group or the usual care group. * If in the CPAP group, use a CPAP device for 12 months. * Wear an ambulatory ECG recorder for a 7-day period at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-operation. * Complete follow-up checkups either at the clinic or over the phone at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after their procedure.
NCT07539870
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the isolated and combined effects of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in adults with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea. The main questions it aims to answer are whether OMT alone, CPAP alone, or combined OMT plus CPAP improves obstructive sleep apnea severity at Week 12, as measured by the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), and whether these interventions improve mandibular excursion. Researchers will compare 4 groups-sham plus standard of care, OMT plus standard of care, CPAP plus standard of care, and combined OMT plus CPAP plus standard of care-to assess differences in respiratory and anatomical-functional outcomes. Participants will be randomized to 1 of the 4 study arms. During the 12-week supervised intervention phase, participants will receive their assigned intervention together with standardized sleep-hygiene and lifestyle counseling. Assessments include sleep recording, mandibular excursion measurements, questionnaires on sleepiness and sleep quality, dento-occlusal and anthropometric measurements, and treatment adherence monitoring. After Week 12, participants will enter an observational follow-up phase through Week 52 to evaluate durability of treatment effects, treatment persistence, symptom recurrence, and clinically indicated treatment modifications.
NCT07376343

NCT06949969
The goal of randomized clinical trial is to determine if the Alesis OSA-1 low laser light therapy device can reduce apnea-hypopnea index scores and treat sleep apnea in adult participants over the age of 18 who are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The main questions it aims to answer are\]: • Does the use of the Alesis OSA-1 device reduce the number of AHI events after six treatments of 12 minutes each, 2x per week x 3 weeks, in adult OSA patients? Researchers will compare results of 35 control group participants who will not receive treatment to a treatment group who will receive six, 12 minute, non-invasive low laser light therapy (LLLT) treatments, two per week for 3 weeks, to see if there is a reduction in the number of AHI events and size of redundant and soft tissues in adult OSA patients. Participants will: * Visit the clinic for assessment and instructions on using the at home sleep study system, WatchPat, and obtain baseline information * Use the WatchPat system to record AHI events pre- and post-treatment. * 10 randomly selected participants will receive a pre-study pulmonary functions test (PFT) and repeated post-treatment. * 5 randomly selected participant will receive a pre-study MRI of the head/neck and repeated post treatment. * For the treatments, the participant lie on a treatment table under a LLLT device for 12 minutes, two times per week, x 3 weeks. * Be offered the treatment series at the conclusion of the study if they were selected for the control group.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related respiratory dysfunction. The prevalence of OSA is increasing with the increasing rates of obesity and elderly population worldwide. Perioperative anesthesia management should be adjusted to improve patient safety in patients with OSA. In OSA patients, positive pressure ventilation support may be required in the preoperative period, various ventilation strategies may be required in the intraoperative period, different pharmacologic agents may need to be avoided, and intensive care unit follow-up or noninvasive ventilation support may be required in the postoperative period. However, it is reported that a significant percentage of OSA patients remain undiagnosed. ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) has reported the criteria that should be questioned in order to determine the risk of patients in terms of OSA and to initiate the diagnostic process in risky patients and to make appropriate anesthesiologic arrangements in the perioperative period. In addition, the STOP-BANG assessment scale, which is widely used all over the world in OSA risk assessment, is also used in OSA risk assessment. It is thought that dental caries and extraction needs may be higher in OSA patients, especially since open-mouth sleeping accompanies the situation. In this respect, it is also important for patients to be diagnosed with OSA as it may prevent dental damage due to open-mouth sleeping in the future. Identifying patients at risk for OSA and directing them to the diagnostic process is very important for patient safety. Within the scope of the study, the criteria recommended by ASA and STOP-BANG score will be evaluated and recorded. Risk stratification in terms of STOP-BANG questionnaire and ASA criteria will be done separately for each patient and for each classification method. Patients at high risk will be consulted to the relevant medical department in the preoperative period for further investigation and treatment. In addition, it is aimed to correlate the risk levels determined in the study with postoperative respiratory complications and recovery time.

NCT07292922
This pilot study explores the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of Digital-supported Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (d-MFT), an innovative program combining facial recognition technology with evidence-based orofacial exercises for individuals with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). The d-MFT program aims to strengthen oropharyngeal muscles, improve airway function, and reduce OSA severity. Participants receiving 3-month d-MFT (n=30) are expected to demonstrate greater improvements in OSA severity, sleep-related symptoms, and quality of life compared to those in the waitlist control group (n=30). Feasibility and acceptability will be evaluated through outcome-based questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to explore participants' experiences, satisfaction, and perceived barriers to adherence.
NCT07466888
This single-group interventional study investigates the safety and physiologic effects of functional electrical stimulation (FES) applied to the tongue and submental muscles in adults at high risk for sleep apnea. Participants will receive five stimulation frequencies (15, 25, 35, 45, and 75 Hz) in randomized order during a single visit. Ultrasound and tongue pressure (IOPI) measurements, as well as subjective assessments of discomfort and perceived effects, will be conducted before, during, and after stimulation. The primary objective is to evaluate changes in muscle thickness, length, and tongue strength across different stimulation frequencies. Secondary objectives include assessing participant discomfort, safety, and subjective treatment effects.
NCT06043830
Patients with chronic pain who use opioids appear to be at increased risk for breathing issues during sleep, termed sleep disordered breathing (SDB). Treatment of SDB often consists of use of a device during sleep that provides continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) via a mask interface. However, this device is not effective or tolerated in all individuals. The goal of this study is to examine whether a medication called acetazolamide can improve SDB, as an alternative to CPAP treatment. The investigators will measure the improvement in SDB, as well as any change in symptoms, during a 1 week treatment with acetazolamide compared with 1 week of placebo (sugar pill). This study will help to provide data for longer term studies of treatment for SDB in patients who use opioids.

NCT07301125
The purpose of this study is to explore a new way to examine the function of the muscles using a technique called high-resolution manometry. The study will enroll 30 adults with OSA, all of whom will use the myofunctional therapy (MFT) devices for 3 months. High-resolution manometry will be used to measure the amount of pressure generated by the muscles of the throat when drinking water or breathing air, both with and without the MFT devices, and before and after the MFT intervention. If successful, this method can help us understand why sleep improves after MFT.
