Trial summary

The aim of this study is to examine whether voice acoustic properties has an influence on sleep apnea. Sleep apnea syndrome is defined as a sudden stop of more than ten seconds multiple times during sleep. The syndrome is common especially among men and occurs in 2%-4% of the population aged 30-60.

About this study

Official title: Voice Acoustic Properties in People With OSAS (Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome)

The aim of this study is to examine whether voice acoustic properties has an influence on sleep apnea. Sleep apnea syndrome is defined as a sudden stop of more than ten seconds multiple times during sleep. The syndrome is common especially among men and occurs in 2%-4% of the population aged 30-60. The syndrome diagnosis is performed by an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) physician. The diagnosis is based on evaluation of anatomical structures in the sound path (nose and throat, jaw, pharynx and oral cavity) and a Polysomnography (PSG) test which quantifies the number and duration of breathing pauses during night sleep and additional parameters that monitor sleep. The syndrome has many negative consequences for those who suffer from it, including fatigue , lack of concentration, hypertension, diabetes ,heart disease, stroke and even death. Therefore, early diagnosis is important.

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare differences in acoustic properties of phonetics i,a,u, n,m

    Subjects will be recorded in a variety of positions expressing the phonetics i,a,u, n,m. and the results will be documented and compared.

    Measured: half hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea of Adult, run by Hillel Yaffe Medical Center.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Beata Greenberg, B.sc Biology (0545355084 ext. +972, BeataG@hy.health.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Compare differences in acoustic properties of phonetics i,a,u, n,m (time frame: half hour). 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 6 Jul 2018.
