Trial summary

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is considered to be a major public health problem. The prevalence of OSAS is estimated at 2% and 4% for adult women and men respectively, most of whom are undiagnosed and untreated. Read more about this study

About this study

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is considered to be a major public health problem. The prevalence of OSAS is estimated at 2% and 4% for adult women and men respectively, most of whom are undiagnosed and untreated. The prevalence of snoring in children is high - 5% in the age group of 6 and less and about 1.5% above. The in-lab sleep study using full Polysomnography (PSG) and the manual scoring criteria set by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine was considered the gold standard for OSAS diagnosis. The high cost of in-lab full night PSG, together with long waiting lists for sleep studies, have led to the commonly used procedure of "split-night" for OSAS patients, as well as to the development of a variety of ambulatory sleep study systems. The primary study objective is to compare the efficacy of the WatchPAT (WP), as an ambulatory device for aiding in the diagnosis of sleep disorders for subjects from age 5 to 90, to the manual scoring of the PSG that serves as a "gold standard".

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Disorders, run by Itamar-Medical, Israel at 1 site in Israel.

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 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 30 Jun 2022. 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 Israel. 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?

Compare sleep data collected from the Watch-PAT device to PSG data (time frame: 3 years). 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 30 Jun 2022.
