About this study

Official title: Reduction of Volumetric and AP Measurements of the Airway in Pseudo-sleep Supine Position vs Standard 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography on Patients With Sleep Apnea

The anatomical changes of the upper airway in a standing vs pseudo-supine position using Carestream Orthodontic Imaging (Volumetric) and Carestream Orthodontic Imaging module (AP measurements) of the patient's airway respectively, have been taken and the obtained results compared. In order to simulate the supine position, patients are placed in a supine position (180 degrees) in a dental exam chair, and asked to relax their lower jaw, allowing it to drop back, simulating their jaw falling back while sleeping. That bite is then captured with a Correct Plus™ Impression Material Superfast. Once the bite material hardens, it locks the bite in place. The patient then stands upright, and CBCT is taken standing while the jaw placement is still pseudo sleep-supine, supported by the bite material.

Study PopulationThe five or six individual patients enrolled are the members of the sole group, the study population. These individuals all have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and have take a Cone-beam CT scan with and without the new bite technique.

What is being measured

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

  1. 3D volumetric airway measurement

    Investigators will measure and compare the 3D volumetric airway of the x-ray both with and without the pseudo-supine technique. This will be done on the computer using Carestream Orthodontic Imaging.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. 2D Anterior-Posterior airway Measurement

    Investigators will measure and compare the 2D anterior-posterior airway of the x-ray both with and without the pseudo-supine technique. This will be done on the computer using the Carestream Orthodontic Imaging module.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of OSA and Sleep Apnea, run by Manhattan Beach Orthodontics at 1 site in United States.

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 1 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 6 May 2021. 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 United States. 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?

3D volumetric airway measurement (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 6 May 2021.
