Trial summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common and frequently-occurring disease. The incidence of OSA is more than 4% in general population, and as high as 20% - 40% in the elderly. At present, CPAP machines commonly used for OSA treatment includes traditional pressure fixed single-level CPAP machine and automatic pressure… Read more about this study

About this study

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common and frequently-occurring disease. The incidence of OSA is more than 4% in general population, and as high as 20% - 40% in the elderly. At present, CPAP machines commonly used for OSA treatment includes traditional pressure fixed single-level CPAP machine and automatic pressure regulation CPAP machine. Studies have shown that the CPAP treatment pressure of OSA patients is normally below 11 cmH2O. Since the condition of OSA patients and the required CPAP treatment pressure may change over time, a CPAP machine with automatic pressure regulation function may theoretically better meet the needs of treatment. However, a recent large-scale clinical study with an average follow-up of four years showed that there was little need to change CPAP treatment pressure after titration. Although different types of CPAP have different functions, the basic principle is to keep the upper airway open and unobstructed to eliminate sleep apnea and hypopnea by continuously applying positive pressure to the upper respiratory tract through an air pump. A complex CPAP machine with functions such as pressure regulation, boost delay, end-expiratory pressure release will cost more than a single-function CPAP machine. Some patients from poor areas, even with severe OSA, may give up treatment when they can not afford CPAP machines that have not yet been included in national health insurance in China. In view of the current economic level in China, it is urgent to find an inexpensive and effective CPAP machine for the treatment of OSA and related complications. Recently, Guangzhou Yinghui Medical Technology Co., Ltd.and State Key Laboratory of Respiratory Disease have developed a new simple CPAP machine. The CPAP treatment pressure is fixed at the factory to 6 cm H2O (SKL), 8 cm H2O (SKM) and 10 cm H2O (SKH). Compared to traditional CPAP machine, only a power switch button is attached on the body, and the additional adjustment devices including display screen are removed, which not only reduces the cost of the CPAP machine, but also facilitates the operation of patients.

Read the detailed description

Study Design: A randomized, cross-over and double blind study . Objective: To investigate the efficacy of simple device of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods: A randomized, cross-over and double blind study would be performed on 100 OSA patients using both simple CPAP and traditional CPAP during overnight polysomnography. Pressure for CPAP treatment would be manual titrated. The sleep apnea hypopnea index (AHI), arousal index (ArI), Oxygen desaturation Index (ODI), sleep structure and the preference of CPAP model were to be observed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Simple CPAP+Conventional fixed CPAP and Simple CPAP + Auto CPAP in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, run by State Key Laboratory of Respiratory Disease at 1 site in China.

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 5 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 25 May 2021. 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 China. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Apnea Hypopnea Index (time frame: One full night). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 May 2021.
