About this study

Official title: Assessment Respiratory and Submental Muscles Activity During Inspiratory and Expiratory Maneuver in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

In this study respiratory and submental muscle activities during during inspiratory and expiratory breathing maneuver at specific workloads will be assessed according to inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength of each obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patient's.

Read the detailed description

Recurrent upper airway obstruction, apnea-hypopnea events, arousals and asphyxia during sleep increase the respiratory workload in patients with OSAS. This results in chronic overload of the inspiratory muscles -especially the diaphragm- and respiratory muscle fatigue in OSAS. When the literature was checked, there was no study assessing and comparing the activities of M. genioglossus, submental muscles (upper airways dilator muscles) and diaphragm during inspiration and expiration in a workload. Differences in the activity of these muscles according to the type of respiratory maneuver will provide more appropriate respiratory muscle training in patients.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT04103073
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Study groupThe patient with OSAS 35-70 years of age, clinically stabile, symptoms such as snoring, breathing cessations, and daytime sleepiness, and polysomnographic evidence consistent with mild (5<apnea hypopnea index (AHI)< 15) to moderate (16 < AHI < 30) OSAS.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pulmonary function test

    Pulmonary function will be assessed with a portable spirometer thorough the standard procedures. Pulmonary function test results will be recorded during the inspiratory and expiratory maneuver.

    Measured: about thirty minutes

  2. Respiratory muscle strength

    Respiratory muscle strength will be measured with a respiratory pressure meter. Maximal inspiratory pressure and expiratory pressure were recorded.

    Measured: about thirty minutes

  3. Surface electromyographic (sEMG) measurement of submental muscles and diaphragm

    Surface electromyographic (sEMG) activity of the submental muscle group (including the anterior belly of the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and platysmas) and diaphragm will be measured during inspiratory and expiratory maneuver.

    Measured: about thirty minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Hacettepe University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 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 20 Jan 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Pulmonary function test (time frame: about thirty minutes). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04103073, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Jan 2022.
