Sleep Disorders (Pediatric) Clinical Trials

Cognitive dysfunction (impaired memory, thinking, etc) frequently occurs in Parkinson's disease (PD), often progresses to dementia, and profoundly affects quality of life. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder in the general population that is treatable with positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. It is known to impair cognitive function, ...

Asthma is characterized by airflow obstruction, chronic airway inflammation and remodeling. The investigators' report has shown directly the relationship between fibrocytes, and chronic airflow obstruction with rapid decline in FEV1 in asthma. Asthma concomitant of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may appear intermittent hypoxia and result in the frequent attack of ...

Primary objective: What is the effect on mood and anxiety symptoms of adding CPAP to the psychiatric treatment of patients with TRD and associated OSA? Secondary objectives: How common is co-morbid OSA in patients with treatment resistant unipolar depression referred to a tertiary Mood Disorders Clinic? Is there a difference ...

INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSA) patients might have varying degrees of laryngopharyngeal mechanical hyposensitivity; however, these findings come from studies performed with methods having weak inter-rater reliability and accuracy evidence. The purpose of this study is to validate the measurement of laryngopharyngeal mechanosensitivity in patients with OSA using a ...

This trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study to evaluate the effect of JZP-110 on driving performance in subjects with excessive sleepiness due to obstructive sleep apnea.

Forty patients with coronary artery disease, with (n=20) and without (n=20) obstructive sleep apnea will be studied. A healthy control, age-paired group (n=10) will be also evaluated. The patients will be submitted to a polysomnography and randomized for clinical follow-up or exercise training for four months. It will evaluated the ...

The purpose of this study is to conduct a pilot randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility and obtain pilot outcome data for a subsequent definitive trial evaluating the effects of postitive airway pressure (PAP) treatment of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (OSDB) on blood pressure control and maternal and fetal outcomes ...

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a condition that affects around one in 20 children. In OSA, the muscles and soft tissues in the throat relax and collapse during sleep causing the upper airway to become blocked. Breathing is briefly interrupted, blood oxygen levels fall and this causes the child to ...

Sleep disorders involve significant increases in morbidity and mortality, particularly in those over 60 years. Sleep apnea is the leading identifiable cause of hypertension, which is the main cause of cardiovascular disease. Some degree of sleep apnea is present in up to 95% of the elderly. Intraoral mandibular advancement appliances ...

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep. Recent studies have found evidence of airway inflammation in patients with OSAS. Individuals with chronic airway inflammation are at higher risk for exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). We hypothesized patients with OSAS are at higher risk ...
