Trial summary

The syndrome of obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS) is a public health problem that affects 2 to 4% of the general population. The patients with OSAS frequently complain of intolerance to exercise muscle fatigue and a significant even if they have not been fully characterized in the literature. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Exercise Intolerance in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Patients: Cardiovascular and Metabolic Characterisation During Exercise. Treatments Effect.

The syndrome of obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS) is a public health problem that affects 2 to 4% of the general population. The patients with OSAS frequently complain of intolerance to exercise muscle fatigue and a significant even if they have not been fully characterized in the literature.

The anomalies in the exercise of patients with OSAS could be due to metabolic changes (insulin resistance and oxidative stress) and cardiovascular (impaired vascular reactivity).

Our goal is both to determine whether these anomalies exist in patients with OSAS not obese, consider their relationship with the alteration of exercise capacity, and their reversibility in conventional PPC or by using the effects of physical activity regular.In this study Objectives: To establish whether the metabolic and vascular abnormalities associated with OSAS are associated with decreased parameters of physical fitness in relation to witnesses matched for age, sex and body mass index. Determine the effects of a re-training exercise on these parameters compared to the reference treatment, continuous positive pressure.

Main objective: To compare the exercise capacity of OSAS patients compared with that of witnesses matched for age, sex and body mass index.

Secondary objectives: To compare the effect of conventional treatment by continuous positive pressure (CPP) on cardiovascular and metabolic abnormalities of OSAS, with a therapeutic modality most original, physical activity.

Methodology: Test physiopathological parallel group, controlled, randomized.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of maximal oxygen consumption : OSAS patient versus control subjects.

    Measured: when the last patient realised the last visit

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To compare physical exercise program to continuous positive airway pressure after 12 weeks of treatment in OSAS patients.

    Measured: when the last patient realised the last visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing physical exercise program in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 8 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 5 Mar 2013. 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 France. 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?

Comparison of maximal oxygen consumption : OSAS patient versus control subjects. (time frame: when the last patient realised the last visit). 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 5 Mar 2013.
