About this study

Official title: Changes In Diurnal Blood Pressure Pattern In Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Patients After CPAP Therapy

to test whether using CPAP can restore the normal pattern of drop of blood pressure during sleep.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the effect of CPAP therapy on the restoration of the normal diurnal blood pressure pattern. Possible improvement of the circadian dipper pattern after CPAP therapy, with or without a decrease in the mean blood pressure, might constitute an additional potential benefit of CPAP therapy in reducing cardiovascular risk in patients with OSA.

STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS:

Patients diagnosed with OSA at the sleep center will undergo blood pressure monitoring by measuring the blood pressure every half hour during sleep study. Patients with normal circadian BP changes are treated with CPAP as indicated. Patients with non-dipping BP pattern will be approach to join our study. The patients will receive CPAP therapy. The trial period will be 6 weeks. At the end of the trial, the patients from both treatment arms will undergo a second BP monitoring according to our above-mentioned protocol (systolic, diastolic and mean BP) to determine the circadian BP changes. Apnea-Hypopnea index will be calculated to reflect on the compliance with our therapy. Thus, patients could be divided into two study groups according to their objective compliance.

Baseline population characteristics between the placebo group and CPAP group will be noted. These include apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), medications, other co morbidities and other factors that might affect the normal circadian BP dipping pattern including factors affecting the volume status i.e. diabetes, renal failure, uncontrolled diabetes. Any new medications added during the 6 weeks trial period will be noted.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS:

The difference in daytime and nighttime BP pattern will be noted between the treated (CPAP) and the non-compliant groups. The circadian BP variation will be recorded in both groups. Changes in the circadian BP pattern will be assessed on an intention-to-treat basis. The odds ratio, p value and confidence interval will be calculated. Correlation between the dipping/non-dipping pattern with CPAP compliance, severity of OSA and number of antihypertensive drugs will be studied as well

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Diurnal Blood Pressure, run by Northwell Health at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 May 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Difficulty Recruiting subjects). 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?

drop of Blood pressure at night (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 31 May 2013.
