Trial summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome affects up to 5% of the general population. The prevalence is multiplied by 13 in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Many studies have shown that OSA syndrome was the main risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (RR = 9.1 [95%, 2.6 to 31.2]). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Inspiratory Muscles Strengthening Among Coronary Patients on the Sleep Apnea Obstructive Syndrome (SAOS)

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome affects up to 5% of the general population. The prevalence is multiplied by 13 in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Many studies have shown that OSA syndrome was the main risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (RR = 9.1 [95%, 2.6 to 31.2]).

If the value of treatment with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in symptomatic CAD patients (daytime sleepiness and/or 2 clinical symptoms with Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) ≥ 20) appears to be established, treatment with CPAP in asymptomatic CAD patients (with AHI> 30) may be too demanding. Alternative treatments are rare and results are highly variable. Therefore, it would be interesting to suggest other treatment modalities with moderate coronary and/or minimally symptomatic OSA syndrome.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to assess the relevance of inspiratory muscles strengthening on reducing AHI in CAD patients with moderate OSA (AHI between 15 and 30).

What participants receive

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

  • POWERbreathe Fitness Plus, (POWERbreathe International Ltd, UK) [Inspiratory muscles strengthening]Device

    CAD patients participated in a 6-week (20 sessions of training) resistive inspiratory muscle training (RIMT) program for 10 minutes twice daily at a training intensity of 70% of maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing POWERbreathe Fitness Plus, (POWERbreathe International Ltd, UK) [Inspiratory muscles strengthening] in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive and Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site in France.

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 7 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 28 Feb 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 France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

AHI Variation (time frame: At 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 28 Feb 2022.
