About this study

The purpose of this study is to learn more about breathing disorders during sleep. The investigators want to learn how breathing sounds made during sleep relate to breathing disorders during sleep.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of assessing breathing problems during sleep with minimally obtrusive sensors (a bedside microphone and wireless pulse oximeter worn on the fingertip). The investigators will use the data collected with these sensors to develop algorithms for automatically detecting sleep apnea events. Subjects will be asked to place unobtrusive sensors (bedside microphone and wireless pulse oximeter) in their home sleep environment. The subjects will start the at-home data collection before they fall asleep, and stop the data collection the next morning when they wake. The subjects will then return the sensors to the investigator for analysis.

We are looking for people interested in participating in the at-home portion of our study. We will only collect at-home data for one night of sleep per subject. After this one night, no further data collection or monitoring will occur. Subjects will be compensated for their time.

A standard sleep-breathing questionnaire (the "Berlin Questionnaire") will be administered. This questionnaire is widely used as a screening tool to determine if a person may have disordered breathing during sleep. This questionnaire consists of 10 multiple-choice questions related to snoring, daytime sleepiness, and other related conditions.

Sleep Lab + At-HomeOvernight sleep at the OHSU sleep lab during routine polysomnography, followed by overnight sleep at home (30 subjects)

What is being measured

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

  1. Non-typical breathing sounds or patterns correspond to oxygen desaturation

    This study aims to see if it is feasible to assess breathing problems during sleep using a high-quality microphone and wireless pulse oximeter. Our primary objective is to determine if non-typical breathing sounds or patterns correspond to oxygen desaturations of 3% or more from baseline.

    Measured: On the day of the study only (1 day)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Apnea Syndromes and Snoring, run by Oregon Health and Science 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jan 2020. 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?

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?

Non-typical breathing sounds or patterns correspond to oxygen desaturation (time frame: On the day of the study only (1 day)). 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 9 Jan 2020.
