Trial summary

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a common sleep-breathing disorder affecting around 2-4% of the population and is characterised by loud snoring, periodic collapse of the upper airway particular to sleep, sleep fragmentation, and sometimes daytime sleepiness. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Investigation of Methods to Detect Respiratory Irregularities in Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a common sleep-breathing disorder affecting around 2-4% of the population and is characterised by loud snoring, periodic collapse of the upper airway particular to sleep, sleep fragmentation, and sometimes daytime sleepiness. Health consequences include impaired cognitive functioning, quality of life, mood, and increased cardiovascular disease risk. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that increased morbidity and mortality in a dose response manner with increasing severity of sleep disordered breathing.

The standard treatment for OSA is nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), which consists of pressurized air applied to the nose via a mask. Generally a single, optimal pressure is prescribed for a patient based on a full night or partial night study during which the pressure is adjusted by a technician until all sleep disordered breathing (SDB) events are abolished. Despite therapy efficacy, compliance to CPAP therapy is sub-optimal.

Due to low compliance it has become common for healthcare providers to follow up subject therapy efficacy through reporting software inherent in many current CPAP devices. Healthcare providers can use this reported data to make appropriate treatment decisions. For this reason the data needs to be accurate. The SleepStyle™ 200 Auto Series CPAP humidifier is an auto adjusting CPAP which stores comprehensive compliance data. The aim of this study is to compare the reliability of the SleepStyle™ 200 Auto Series CPAP data to laboratory-based PSG in detecting sleep disordered breathing.

Hypothesis: The SleepStyle™ 200 Auto Series reporting features accurately detects indices of sleep disordered breathing.

    The device will record on internal software perceived sleep disordered breathing events. Events will also be scored manually on the polysomnography (PSG. Results will then be compared.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1ExperimentalAll subjects will be placed on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy during a full night sleep study or polysomnography (PSG). The subjects will spend 2 hours on sub-therapeutic CPAP 4 cmH2O of pressure and the remainder on there therapeutic pressure. Values reported on the device will be compared to scored values from manual scoring of the sleep study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SleepStyle 200 Auto Series CPAP Humidifier in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, run by Fisher and Paykel Healthcare at 1 site in New Zealand.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2008. 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 New Zealand. 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: At the end of the sleep study.). 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 9 Dec 2008.
