About this study

Official title: a Study of the Pattern of Upper Airway Obstruction in Non-obese Patients With Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea

This study aims at :-

  1. detecting the prevelance of snoring and OSA in non-obese patients
  2. identify their diagnostic profile in order to provide proper management
Read the detailed description

Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping.

Snoring during sleep may be a sign, or first alarm, of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Snoring can cause significant psychological and social problems to sufferers. Multiple studies reveal a positive correlation between loud snoring and risk of heart attack and stroke.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the commonest type of sleep apnea and is characterized by inturpted snoring, repeated attacks of complete or partial pharyngeal closure during sleep despite the effort to breath resulting in nocturnal hypoxemia, frequent arousals during sleep, and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS).

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is differentiated from Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) which is characterized by changes in the respiratory cycle during sleep but without the effort to breath during the apnea.

the episodes of decreased breathing are called "hypopnea " and it's definition requires a < 30% drop in flow for 10 seconds or longer associated with < 3% oxygen desaturation , the episodes of breathing cessations are called "apneas" and defined as a< 90% drop in flow for 10 seconds or longer and associated with < 3% oxygen desaturation or an arousal It is a serious and potentially life threatening disease that is far more common than generally expected. Several risk factors, including obesity, male sex, age, and heritable factors, as well as the supine decubitus position during sleep. have been associated with an increased prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in the general population.

It has become a major health issue all over the world affecting quality of life with an increasing prevalence and associated with high comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, malignancies, and overall mortality. Results of different studies indicate that approximately 60-70% of patients with OSA are obese.

Snoring and witnessed apnea are more frequent among men but insomnia for example is more frequent among women. The OSA frequency increase with age for the women. The mortality is higher for women The data regarding association of OSA among nonobese patients is rare and needs great effort as fewer studies have reported magnitude of association.

What participants receive

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

  • nasofibroscopyDevice

    Flexible videorhinolaryngoscope, PAL 11101VP*, 4.2 mm diameter. Using a computerized system including:

    Light source: Explor ENT (HAL250). The software allowed audio, video recording and retrieval of recorded material.

What is being measured

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

  1. compare snoring and obstructive sleep apnea between obese and non obese

    by analysing data of muller's manauver and sleep endoscopy between obese and nonobese

    Measured: baseline

An observational study of Snoring, run by Assiut University.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 14 Apr 2020. 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 basma khairy, resident dr (01023481606, boseym2010@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

compare snoring and obstructive sleep apnea between obese and non obese (time frame: baseline). 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 NCT04324671, which also lists 3 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 14 Apr 2020.
