Trial summary

The diagnosis of OSASH requires expensive sleep tests that generate long waiting lists, so we need simplified and rapid diagnostic tools. The ApneaLinkTM, is a device that allows the assessment of respiratory events by measuring the flow ventilation with a nasal cannula connected to a pressure transducer. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients 18 to 75 years of both sexes.
  • clinical suspicion of OSAH defined as subjects with breathing pauses during sleep and / or asphyxiated sounds, with or without excessive daytime sleepiness as measured by the Epworth scale and who have asked for a sleep test to rule out OSAH.
  • Informed consent signed by the patient.

Who cannot join

  • Place of residence more than 100 km from the hospital.
  • inability to perform psychophysical study at home.
  • cardio-vascular disease, cerebro-vascular or respiratory or acute severe unstable as to preclude the proper conduct of studies at home and / or PSG in the laboratory.
  • Patients with chronic insomnia or recognize sleep less than six hours.
  • Patients with depression (both point 4 and 5 are the potential causes of false negatives in a PR for lack of sufficient sleep time).
  • nasal obstruction complete or nearly complete, which prevents obtaining a quality signal with MicroMESAM

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PSG and MicroMESAM system in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Basque Health Service.

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 6 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 7 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Number of patients correctly diagnosed by MicroMESAM (APNEA-LINK) (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT01347398, which also lists 2 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Feb 2013.
