Trial summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by complete or partial upper-airway collapse during sleep associated with sleepiness. OSA causes severe impairments in quality of life (sleepiness, tiredness, concentration difficulties). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Physical Activity on OSA Severity Based on the Level of Fluid Shift in Patients Who Can't Use CPAP or MAD

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by complete or partial upper-airway collapse during sleep associated with sleepiness. OSA causes severe impairments in quality of life (sleepiness, tiredness, concentration difficulties). Moreover, OSA has adverse consequences on the cardiovascular system by causing intermittent hypoxia, increased sympathetic nervous system activation and vascular endothelial dysfunction.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and mandibular advanced devices (MAD) remain the two first-line therapies for OSA. However, not all patients are eligible for these treatments or are not able to follow for a lifelong therapy and therefore do not use it consistently.

A recent meta-analysis has confirmed that regular physical activity reduces OSA by approximately 28% (Mendelson et al. 2018). However, an important inter-individual variability exists and no study to date has identified characteristics of patients who respond to these interventions.

The aim of this Prospective study, single-site, non-randomized 4-week trial is to evaluate the impact of a 4-week physical activity intervention on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) in OSA patients based on their baseline fluid shift level.

Participants included in the present study will benefit from a 4-week physical activity intervention. Upon the initial visit, a physical activity prescription will be defined and they will be equipped with a physical activity monitor that allows feedback. Participants will then exercise one day per week on-site and 4 days/week on their own. Weekly physical activity will be reviewed weekly with the participant during their on-site visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Physical activity intervention in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 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 3 Jan 2024. 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 France. 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 Monique MENDELSON, phD (04 76 76 72 26, mmendelson@chu-grenoble.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Apnea-Hypopnea index (time frame: Baseline-4weeks). 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 3 Jan 2024.
