About this study

Official title: Investigation of a Novel Sleep Surface for Treatment of Positional Sleep Apnea.

Body position during sleep influences the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The AHI is the number of times per hour of sleep that the airway temporarily collapses at the level of the tongue or soft palate. In a significant number of individuals with OSA, the severity of the condition as measured by the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), increases in the supine (back) position and lowers in the lateral (side) position. This is called positional OSA.

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether sleeping with a novel sleep surface (Wave sleep surface) that is used on top of a regular bed reduces the AHI in those with positional OSA.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether sleeping with the novel device (Wave sleep surface) reduces the AHI in those with supine position-related OSA, also known as positional OSA. A secondary aim is to determine the effects of the sleep surface on subjective and objective measures of sleep in patients with positional OSA.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Wave sleep surfaceOther

    The Wave sleep surface is designed to be used as a bed surface and with any combinations of sleep pillows, bed linens, and bed clothes and intended to avoid the supine position during sleep.

What is being measured

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

  1. Apnea-hypopnea Index (AHI)- Intention to Treat Analysis

    AHI, or the apnea-hypopnea index, is a numerical measure that accounts for the number of pauses in your breathing per hour of sleep.

    These breathing disturbances are typically associated with either a brief arousal or awakening from sleep or a 4 percent drop in the blood oxygen levels, called a desaturation. It is used to assess the severity of an individual's sleep apnea.

    This is measured in each study participant when sleeping with the Wave Sleep Surface and sleeping without the Wave Sleep Surface.

    Measured: measured during each of the two sleep study sessions (Study Visits 2 and 3)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Objective Sleep Quality

    Sleep quality assessment using objective sleep architecture measures during PSG performed during the non-Wave Sleep Surface night compared to the Wave Sleep Surface night during visits 2 and 3.

    Measured: measured during each of the two sleep study sessions (Study Visits 2 and 3)

  2. Sleep Efficiency

    Sleep quality assessment using objective sleep architecture measures during PSG performed during the non-Wave Sleep Surface night compared to the Wave Sleep Surface night during visits 2 and 3. Sleep efficiency is defined as the total sleep time divided by the total recording time X100.

    Measured: measured during each of the two sleep study sessions (Study Visits 2 and 3)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Wave sleep surface in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive, run by Ohio State University 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 9 inclusion and 15 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 8 Aug 2018. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Aug 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Apnea-hypopnea Index (AHI)- Intention to Treat Analysis (time frame: measured during each of the two sleep study sessions (Study Visits 2 and 3)). 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 8 Aug 2018.
