About this study

Official title: Quantitative Genioglossal Muscle Strength in Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSAS) Defined in the Clinical Spectrum of Subjects With Snoring Disturbance, Oral Appliance Therapy Responsive, and CPAP Responsive.

Quantitative Genioglossal muscle strength in Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSAS) defined in the clinical spectrum of subjects with Snoring Disturbance, Oral Appliance Therapy Responsive, and CPAP Responsive

Read the detailed description

To describe by statistical analysis the normal distribution domain of genioglossus muscle strength in each of the four clinical stages of Sleep Apnea; and, by regression analysis, to explore the possibility of an inverse relationship between decreasing genioglossus strength and progression of the clinical stages of OSAS.

1.3. To test the hypothesis that a "subpopulation of subject" exists within the clinical spectrum of OSAS, in whom decreasing strength of the genioglossus muscle may represent a common element in spite of differing possible pathophysiologic pathways leading to Obstructive Sleep Apnea in man. 1.4. The major hypothesis of this proposal is thus that "Genioglossal Strength is inversely correlated with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Pathology."

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by University of New Mexico 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 8 Jan 2024. 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: This was inadvertently entered in the system and is not a clinical trial.). 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?

Genioglossal Strength (time frame: single clinic visit). 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 Jan 2024.
