About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Novel Drug Induced Sleep Endoscopy Procedures in Treating Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) used as diagnostic tool but not yet as a therapeutic procedures to manage the upper airway of snorers and obstructive sleep apnea patients in conditions that mimic natural sleep, there are many aspects that need to be standardized in order to obtain reliable and reproducible information result in cryotherapy at sites of vibration as origin of snoring and site of collapse.

Receives: Procedure: cryotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. value, side effect and impact of cryotherapy in treatment of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

    we use drug induced sleep endoscopy during intervention and use polysomnography before the intervention as diagnostic for cases and after intervention for follow up of cases

    Measured: polysomnography will done after 2 weeks of intervention

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact fatma h mohamed, assistant lecturer (01093199561 ext. mobile, fatma.hassanain@med.sohag.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

value, side effect and impact of cryotherapy in treatment of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (time frame: polysomnography will done after 2 weeks of intervention). 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.
