About this study

This study looks at the quality of the common mechanisms used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) by patients in their own homes. These are pulse oximetry as a stand alone measurement and multi-channel respiratory studies that measure oximetry but also record some combination of signals including airflow at the mouth and or nose, chest and abdominal expansion, body position and snoring. This study will examine the patient acceptability of these methods and the proportion of studies that achieve various levels of technical quality ranging from a full night with all data available to a completely failed study and categories in between.

Read the detailed description

There is a study underway to develop a non-contact detector of breathing (SafeScan) as a new method of diagnosing obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). There are a number of different methods already available to achieve this end but one proposed advantage of the new SafeScan device is that it will not affect sleep quality and because there are no measuring devices attached to the patient it is less likely that the signal will be lost in the night due to the normal movements of sleep. However there are no data available that quantify these factors as an issue for the current techniques and devices.

The proving study for SafeScan is a comparison of the ability of the device to measure sleep apnoea compared to full in-hospital polysomnography (PSG) and one outcome will be the proportion of studies that have lost data. However the future use of the SafeScan device will be in the community. The common diagnostics used by patients in their own homes are pulse oximetry as a stand alone measurement and multi-channel respiratory studies that measure oximetry but also record some combination of signals including airflow at the mouth and or nose, chest and abdominal expansion, body position and snoring. We propose a study to examine the patient acceptability of these methods and the proportion of studies that achieve various levels of technical quality ranging from a full night with all data available to a completely failed study and categories in between. In addition there will be an analysis of the results to explore whether there are features of the patients such as age and obesity that make technical success or failure of the studies more likely.

What is being measured

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

  1. Satisfactory sleep studies

    The proportion of home studies to diagnose sleep apnoea that are satisfactory without disruption to the patient's sleep or loss of signals to an extent that make the results unreliable.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Extent of sleep disruption

    What proportion of patients report sleep disruption due to: oximeter probe / nasal cannula / thermistor / chest band /abdominal band / the recording device?

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Extent of signal failure

    What proportion of studies failed due to loss of signal from: oximeter probe / nasal cannula / thermistor / chest band /abdominal band / the recording device?

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jun 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 United Kingdom. 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 Katharine Woodall (+44 1223 639636, katharine.woodall@nhs.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Satisfactory sleep studies (time frame: 3 months). 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 27 Jun 2022.
