About this study

Official title: Patients with Coronary Artery Disease or At High Cardiovascular Risk: Measuring Compliance with Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OAM or CPAP)

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder characterised by partial or total obstruction of the oro-pharyngeal carrefour during sleep. It is found in between 4% and 25% of the general population and in 40 to 80% of patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard treatment for OSA and its efficacy has already been demonstrated in this particular population. However, this treatment is not always accepted or sufficiently tolerated. The mandibular advancement device (MAD) is therefore an alternative treatment for OSA, validated by the French National Authority for Health and particularly relevant in this population because it is generally better tolerated. The aim of our study was to assess compliance, tolerance and usability of CPAP and MAD in patients with coronary artery disease and moderate (Apnea-Hypopnea Index AHI 15-30) to severe (AHI>30) OSA.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT06568159
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
MAD group* An oral and dental check-up will be carried out on the day of inclusion, and a sleep diary will be provided. * Compliance will be assessed after 6 months' wear. * As part of the research, specific questionnaires will be completed with the patient during a telephone interview after 6 months: assessment of compliance and quality of life.
CPAP group* An oral and dental check-up will be carried out on the day of inclusion. * Compliance will be assessed after 6 months' wear. * As part of the research, specific questionnaires will be completed with the patient during a telephone interview after 6 months: assessment of compliance and quality of life.

What is being measured

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

  1. Compliance with MAD and CPAP at 6 months (wearing time).

    MAD compliance at 6 months (wearing time): a sleep diary will be given to the patient at the inclusion visit.

    CPAP compliance at 6 months: data transmitted by the CPAP device (sleep diary).

    Measured: 6 months post-inclusion

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Assessment of oral status

    plaque index : values from 0 to 3. A high score is a worse outcome.

    Measured: the day of inclusion

  2. Assessment of oral status

    mobility index : values from 1 to 4. A high score is a worse outcome.

    Measured: the day of inclusion

  3. Assessment of oral status

    bleeding index : values from 0 to 1 (100%). A high score is a worse outcome.

    Measured: the day of inclusion

  4. Assessment of tolerance and satisfaction with the device used reported by the patient at 6 months (duration of wear)

    survey : values from 0 to 3. A high score is a better outcome.

    Measured: 6 months post-inclusion

  5. Clinical parameters of OSA (objective)

    ventilatory polygraphy or polysomnography

    Measured: 6 months post-inclusion

  6. Assessment of quality of life

    Survey WHOQOL Bref. Values : very poor, poor, neither poor nor good, good, very good.

    Measured: 6 months post-inclusion

  7. Clinical parameters of OSA (subjective)

    Survey. Values : light, moderate, significant

    Measured: 6 months post-inclusion

What does the primary outcome measure?

Compliance with MAD and CPAP at 6 months (wearing time). (time frame: 6 months post-inclusion). 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?
