About this study

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can be described as a condition characterized by repetitive obstruction of the upper airway resulting in oxygen desaturation and awakening from sleep, loud snoring, and increased daytime sleepiness . Many studies have shown that a link exists between OSA and cardiovascular disease, chronic heart failure ischemia, hypertension, obesity, and impaired glucose tolerance . A number of factors are likely to play role in development of clinical OSA syndrome (OSAS) ranging from upper airway anatomy to central respiratory control mechanisms. The pathophysiology of OSA is unclear and complex. Several previous studies have explored pulmonary function in the OSAS patients Interestingly, OSAS has been found to be highly correlated with lower airway obstruction, although it is originally defined as an upper airway disease

Read the detailed description

American Sleep Apnea Association considers exercise as a non-pharmacological treatment modality of sleep disorders . Theoretical reviews and hypotheses on the effects of exercise in OSA have suggested thermoregulatory, metabolic, and biochemical mechanisms although clinical trials on the topic are inadequate .

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is used as a stress test to evaluate cardiac, pulmonary, and muscle function. It has also been used to differentiate whether the etiology of impairment of the ca. rdiopulmonary exercise test is cardiac, pulmonary or muscle dysfunction In otherwise healthy subjects, exercise limitation is due to heart disease. Patients with OSAS are frequently overweight and may exhibit lung function abnormalities related to their weight. These include a decrease in the functional residual capacity (FRC) due mainly to a decrease in the expiratory reserve volume (ERV) and a decrease in compliance of the respiratory system. These functional abnormalities cause an increase in the energy cost of breathing. In addition, increased body mass is associated with greater metabolic energy requirements during muscular exercise, resulting in further ventilatory stress. There are reports demonstrating that there are discriminating measurements during exercise in obesity, including a high O2 cost to perform external work, and upward displacement of the VO2 -WR relationship OSAS patients have daytime hypersomnolence, decreased daily activity and tissue hypoxemia which may further impair muscle function and decrease exercise fitness. Recently, Peppard and Young (2004) found that, independent of body habitus, lack of exercise was associated with increased severity of sleep-disordered breathing measurements during exercise in obesity, including a high O2 cost to perform external work, and upward displacement of the VO2 -WR relationship. OSAS patients have daytime hypersomnolence, decreased daily activity and tissue hypoxemia which may further impair muscle function and decrease exercise fitness.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. 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?

Contact Asmaa G Nafady, residant (00201015826887, asmaanafady5922@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ventilatory parameters of cardiopulmonary exercise test (time frame: 30 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03300700, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 3 Oct 2017.
