About this study

Official title: Validation of Non-invasive Miniature Optical Sensors for Scoring Sleep Stages: a Prospective, Method-comparison, Proof of Concept, Single-centre Phase IV Study

Validation of two devices with optical sensor in healthy participants and patients with sleep wake disorders.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to evaluate and optimize a method of detecting sleep and sleep stages based on a new algorithm combining actigraphy and heart rate variability (measured by optical analysis of the pulse wave) to determine sleep architecture (segmented into three phases: WAKE, REM and NREM) with high accuracy compared to the gold standard polysomnography.

Being tested
OHR Tracker and PulseWatch
Keywords
Sleep apnea, Hypersomnia, Parasomnia
Medical subject headings
Sleep Wake Disorders, Sleep Apnea Syndromes, Disorders of Excessive Somnolence, Parasomnias

What participants receive

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

  • OHR Tracker and PulseWatchDevice

    Category A (ClinO). Medical study with CE-marked medical devices to photoplethysmographic measure heart rate, heart rate variability, and pulse wave and accelerometric data

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Nocturnal RecordingExperimentalRecording of photoplethysmographic pulse wave and accelerometry with two devices (OHR Tracker, PulseWatch) in parallel to the standard polysomnography
Receives: Device: OHR Tracker and PulseWatch

What is being measured

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

  1. Total Sleep Time (TST) and sleep architecture (distribution of sleep stages)

    Diagnostic accuracy of the new algorithm compared to the Gold Standard full polysomnography

    Measured: 1 night

  2. The total time in non-REM sleep (stages 1-3), REM sleep, and awake after sleep onset

    Diagnostic accuracy of the new algorithm compared to the Gold Standard full polysomnography

    Measured: 1 night

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing OHR Tracker and PulseWatch in people with Sleep-Wake Disorders and Healthy, run by Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 5 inclusion and 39 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 11 Jun 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 Switzerland. 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 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?

Total Sleep Time (TST) and sleep architecture (distribution of sleep stages) (time frame: 1 night). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 Jun 2020.
