Trial summary

In Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, sleep is disrupted and sleep quality is very poor. The investigators can suppose that with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, there is an improvement in sleep quality, such that patients need less sleep to be fit.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Sleep Schedules Modifications in Moderate to Severe Sleep Apnea Patients Treated by nCPAP

In Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, sleep is disrupted and sleep quality is very poor. The investigators can suppose that with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, there is an improvement in sleep quality, such that patients need less sleep to be fit. Sleep schedules on mid term periods in OSA patients under CPAP therapy has not been studied. The investigators have planned to study sleep schemes before and after CPAP therapy in moderate to severe sleepy OSA patients.

Read the detailed description

In Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, sleep is disrupted and sleep quality is very poor. The investigators can suppose that with CPAP therapy, there is an improvement in sleep quality, such that patients need less sleep to be fit. Patients often report this fact, but it has not been objectivated.

Sleep schedules on mid term periods in OSA patients under CPAP therapy has not been studied. The investigators have planned to study sleep schemes before and after CPAP therapy in moderate to severe sleepy OSA patients. Sleep schemes and physical activity will be studied with actigraphy.

Study Design : prospective study. Number of patients supposed to be studied: 190

Methods:

Patients Ø OSA patients assessed by polysomnography, showing apnea-hypopnea index > 20, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale Score(ESS) >10 Ø Indication of CPAP therapy

Initial Evaluation :

  • Phase 1
  • ESS
  • BMI
  • Questionnaire : Nottingham health profile
  • Comorbidities -medical therapy
  • Smoking/alcohol Consumption
  • Then, we give an Actigraph (Body Media Sense WearÒ) to the patients, that he has to wear during 7 complete days
  • Phase 2
  • Actigraphy report
  • Start of CPAP therapy(pressure adjusted according to autoCPAP device report after minimum one night)

Second Evaluation, after 3 months under CPAP:

  • Phase 1 § ESS
  • BMI
  • CPAP observance report to calculate mean use/day
  • Questionnaire : Nottingham health profile
  • Actigraph (Body Media Sense WearÒ) to the patients, that he has to wear during 7 complete days
  • Phase 2: after 1 week under CPAP and actigraphy
  • Actigraphy report
  • CPAP observance report
  • CPAP Tolerance Questionnaire Ø

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Total Sleep Time Before and After CPAP Therapy in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients

    change in Total sleep time before and after CPAP therapy in obstructive sleep apnea patients, assessed by actigraphy

    Measured: baseline and at 3 months

  1. Change in Physical Activity (Number of Steps/Day)Before and After CPAP Therapy in OSA Patients

    Change in Physical activity (number of steps/day)before and after CPAP therapy in OSA patientsevaluated by actigraphy

    Measured: baseline and at 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Saint Pierre at 1 site in Belgium.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 May 2015. 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 Belgium. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 May 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Total Sleep Time Before and After CPAP Therapy in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients (time frame: baseline and at 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 May 2015.
