About this study

Official title: Impact of Sleep-disordered Breathing on Autonomic Regulation in Patients With Prader-Willi Syndrome

To evaluate autonomic regulation in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome with sleep-disordered breathing.

Read the detailed description

To evaluate the relationship between narcolepsy and sleep-disordered breathing, the natural course of untreated or treated sleep-disordered breathing and its impacts on autonomic regulation in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome with sleep-disordered breathing.

Being tested
Polysomnography, Multiple sleep latency test, Continuous positive airway pressure
Medical subject headings
Primary Dysautonomias

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PolysomnographyDiagnostic test

    Also called PSG

    overnight polysomnography recording at least six hours

  • Multiple sleep latency testDiagnostic test

    Also called MSLT

    daytime naps at least four to five naps to evaluate daytime sleepiness and narcolepsy

  • Continuous positive airway pressureOther

    Also called CPAP

    continuous positive airway pressure treatment for sleep-disordered breathing

What is being measured

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

  1. Narcolepsy prevalence

    Compare the narcolepsy prevalence amount healthy and Prader-Willi syndrome with or without sleep-disordered breathing

    Measured: 1day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The natural course and its impact of untreated sleep-disordered breathing on autonomic regulation in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome.

    Autonomic function measurements (low frequency power and high frequency power, presented as normalized units, and the overall autonomic regulation presented as Low frequency/high frequency ratio) using the EKG signal extracting from overnight polysomnography recording raw data among Prader-Willi patients with untreated sleep-disordered breathing at baseline and after a period of follow-up.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Autonomic Dysfunction, run by Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2019. 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 Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

Contact 美貞 楊, MD (0970333784, mimimai3461@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Narcolepsy prevalence (time frame: 1day). 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 NCT04118816, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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?
