About this study

Official title: Efficacy of the Treatment With Nasal Positive Continuous Airway Pressure to Reduce the Arterial Blood Pressure in Patients With Apneas-Hypopneas During the Sleep and Systemic Hypertension

AIMS:To know the effects of the treatment with nasal positive continuous airway pressure (CPAP) on systemic blood pressure and the expression of biological mediators, in systemic hypertension of recent diagnostic, whose have an apnea-hypopnea index > 15.

METHODOLOGY: DESIGN: Prospective, multicenter, randomized study, of parallel groups and controlled with placebo, in patients diagnosed of systemic hypertension (SH) with an apnea-hypopnea index, by conventional polysomnography > 15. A total of 340 patients with recently diagnosed of SH and without any pharmacological treatment will be studied. All patients will be randomized to receive, alternatively, CPAP treatment with optimal pressure titled with a proved system, or Sham-CPAP for 12 weeks.

MEASUREMENTS: A) Conventional polysomnography at baseline: B) Clinic: sleepiness (ATS, Basic Nordic Sleep Questionnaire and Epworth), quality of life (EuroQol); C) 24 hour blood pressure monitoring; D) Expression of biological mediators in blood: general determinations, endothelial, inflammatory, lipid, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and adrenergic mediators.

ANALYSIS. Baseline measurements of all the variables will be compared with the situation at six and twelve weeks. We will use the chi square test and the Fisher´s exact test (categorical variables), the t test for continous variables and repeated measures ANCOVA for the primary objective. The analyses will be done under the criterion of intention to treat and for protocol. The variables will be controlled by the compliance with the CPAP..

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nasal continuos positive airway pressure in people with Sleep Apnea and Hypertension, run by Sociedad Española de Neumología y Cirugía Torácica at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Dec 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact JOAQUIN DURAN-CANTOLLA, MD (34 945 007308, joaquin.duran@wanadoo.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effect of CPAP in 24 hours blood pressure monitoring. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00202527, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
