Trial summary

Background: The oral appliances have been increasingly used in the treatment of primary snoring and in patients with mild obstructive sleep apnea syndrome besides being treatment options in adults with moderate to severe sleep apnea who did not accept or adapt to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

About this study

Official title: Optimal Titration of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Could Predict Success of Oral Appliance to Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Background: The oral appliances have been increasingly used in the treatment of primary snoring and in patients with mild obstructive sleep apnea syndrome besides being treatment options in adults with moderate to severe sleep apnea who did not accept or adapt to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). It is not well established yet in the literature, which patients with mild to moderate OSA will present a good response to treatment with oral appliances.

Objective: To determine a value of CPAP pressure that correlates with a favorable response to the use of oral appliance in patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea.

Patients and Methods: Two groups of 30 male patients (25-65 years, body mass index < 35 kg/m2) will be selected: the first group with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) between 5 and 15 events per hour of sleep and the second one with an AHI between 15 and 30 events per hour of sleep. Each patient will undergo three polysomnographic recordings (baseline, CPAP titration, after two months of treatment with oral appliance). Subjective (sleep disorders questionnaire, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and sleep diaries) and objective (polysomnography) parameters of sleep will be evaluated, besides the quality of life (SF-36), mood (POMS), and anthropometric measurements (neck circumference and craniofacial characteristic). Good response to treatment with the AIO will be considered as a 50% reduction in the baseline AHI index or AHI after treatment less than 5 events per hour of sleep.

  • Oral applianceProcedure or surgery

    Anterior mandibular repositioner: used for two months

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective sleep parameters

    polysomnographic date of sleep stages percentages, sleep efficience, arousals, apnea-hypopnea index, oxyhemoglobin saturation

    Measured: two months after the baseline recording

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Subjective sleep parameters

    Sleep disorders questionnaire, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and sleep diaries

    Measured: two months after the baseline recording

  2. Quality of life, mood, and anthropometric measurements

    SF-36, POMS, neck circumference and craniofacial characteristic

    Measured: two months after the baseline recording

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oral appliance in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Associacao Fundo de Incentivo a Psicofarmcologia at 1 site in Brazil.

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 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2011. 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Thays CA Cunha (551121490155, thayscrosara@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective sleep parameters (time frame: two months after the baseline recording). 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 26 Oct 2011.
