About this study

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of nasal desobstruction surgery (septoplasty, septorhinoplasty or total ethmoidectomy) on sleep quality, assessed by the variation of the Wake after sleep onset (WASO), in patients presenting with sleep disorders and severe nasal obstruction.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is a sleep breathing disorder characterised by episodes of complete or partial obstruction of the upper airway. OSA is a common disease which impacts quality of life, mood, cardiovascular morbidity, and mortality. It is often under-diagnosed and is estimated to affect at least 2-5% of the female population and 3-7% of the male population.

Currently, nasal obstruction is not recognised as an independent risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The current definition of OSA is based on an Apnea/Hypopnea index (AHI) greater than five. However, most studies do not find a decrease in this index after nasal desobstruction surgery despite a significant improvement in sleep quality scales. The AHI index appears to be a limited paraclinical criteria to assess the impact of nasal obstruction on sleep quality.

Other objective paraclinical criteria have been used in other nosological sleep settings to objectively assess sleep quality. These include the WASO (wake after sleep onset) criteria. To investigators knowledge, no study has assessed this parameter before and after a nasal desobstruction surgery.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of nasal desobstruction surgery (septoplasty, septorhinoplasty or total ethmoidectomy) on sleep quality, assessed by the variation of the objective paraclinical criteria WASO, in patients presenting with sleep disorders and severe nasal obstruction.

What participants receive

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

  • actigraphyOther

    Actigraphy examination will be performed during 2 periods of 7 days before and after nose nasal desobstruction surgery (septoplasty, septorhinoplasty or total ethmoidectomy). Respectively 2 months before surgery (inclusion) and 4 months after surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Wake after sleep onset

    Wake after sleep onset in minutes

    Measured: 6 months after inclusion (M0)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Total Sleep time

    Total sleep time in minutes

    Measured: Change from baseline (M0) and 4 month after surgery (M6)

  2. Time in bed

    Time in bed in minutes

    Measured: Change from baseline (M0) and 4 month after surgery (M6)

  3. Sleep latency

    Duration of time in minutes from turning the light off to falling asleep

    Measured: Change from baseline (M0) and 4 month after surgery (M6)

  4. Sleep efficiency

    ratio of total sleep time to time in bed

    Measured: Change from baseline (M0) and 4 month after surgery (M6)

  5. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

    Index from 0 (meaning that there are no difficulties) to 21 (indicating major difficulties) about quality of sleep (the lowest is the index the better is the quality of sleep)

    Measured: Change from baseline (M0) and 4 month after surgery (M6)

  6. Pichot Qualitative Fatigue Scale score

    the Fatigue os measured by Pichot Qualitative Fatigue Scale witch is a 8-items self-administered questionnaire asking about fatigue.

    A 5-points scale is used to rate each item (e.g., 0 = no problem; 4 = very severe problem), yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 32.

    A score above 22 means an excessive state of fatigue

    Measured: Change from baseline (M0) and 4 month after surgery (M6)

  7. Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score

    Sleepiness complaints with ESS questionnaire. The ESS score can range from 0 to 24. The higher the ESS score, the higher that person's average sleep propensity in daily life, or their 'daytime sleepiness'.

    Measured: Change from baseline (M0) and 4 month after surgery (M6)

  8. Insomnia Severity Index

    The Insomnia Severity Index is a 7-item self-administered questionnaire asking about difficulties sleeping and thoughts and worries about sleep.

    A 5-point scale is used to rate each item (e.g., 0 = no problem; 4 = very severe problem), yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 28.

    The total score is interpreted as follows:

    absence of insomnia (0-7); sub-threshold insomnia (8-14); moderate insomnia (15-21); and severe insomnia (22-28).

    Measured: Change from baseline (M0) and 4 month after surgery (M6)

  9. Nasal obstruction scale

    Nasal Respiratory complaints measured by Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE questionnaire) The NOSE Scale is a 5-items self-administered questionnaire asking nose obstruction.

    A 5-points scale is used to rate each item (e.g., 0 = no problem; 4 = very severe problem), yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 20.

    Measured: Change from baseline (M0) and 4 month after surgery (M6)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing actigraphy in people with Sleep Apnea and Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux 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 15 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 14 Feb 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?

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?

Wake after sleep onset (time frame: 6 months after inclusion (M0)). 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 14 Feb 2024.
