Trial summary

Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) is a cardiovascular risk factor due to intermittent hypoxia phenomena. Several etiological factors are involved in the pathogenesis of OSAS. Among them, the rostro-caudal displacement of fluid during dorsal decubitus has been highlighted. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: MOdification of Fluid Distribution in 90 Minutes : Pilot Study - MORFE 90

Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) is a cardiovascular risk factor due to intermittent hypoxia phenomena. Several etiological factors are involved in the pathogenesis of OSAS. Among them, the rostro-caudal displacement of fluid during dorsal decubitus has been highlighted. Under the effect of gravity, an accumulation of fluid is possible in the lower limbs, redistributing itself towards the upper parts of the body during the supine position.

This phenomenon of fluid shift is usually evaluated by impedancemetry after a night in the supine position. However, some authors have shown that fluid shift occurs within 90 minutes after supine. Thus, in the perspective of future studies, in order to simplify the implementation of this evaluation and to reduce the time of hospitalization necessary for the subjects participating in the study, we would like to verify the correlation between the impedancemetry measurement at T 90 min and that obtained after one night of supine position. This is a single-center, prospective, open-label study at the Poitiers University Hospital. We will include 30 patients over 18 years of age admitted to the regional sleep pathology center for suspected nocturnal respiratory disorders to receive polysomnography and able to provide written consent.We excluded : patients younger than 18 years of age, A history of vascular surgery of the lower limbs such as varicose vein surgery, vascular bypass surgery, carcinological surgery with lymph node dissection, the presence of metallic implants in the lower limbs or spine or implantable cardiac devices, those not receiving Social Securitý or not receiving it through a third party, persons receiving enhanced protection, namely minors, and persons deprived of libertý by a judicial or administrative decision, persons staying in a health or social institution, and adults under legal protection.we will perform an impedance measurement at T0, T30, T90, and after overnight supine. Impedance measurement is performed using electrodes delivering a low intensity current of known frequency allowing the study of the liquid volume.

What participants receive

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

  • ImpedancemetryOther

    the impedance measurement electrodes are placed on the lower limbs and neck. After the first measurement, the patients are invited to lie down. A new series of measurements will be performed at 30 (T30), 90 minutes (T90) and in the morning.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the agreement between impedancemetry measurements at T90 minutes and impedancemetry measurements after an overnight supine position in the assessment of Fluid-Shift.

    The criterion evaluated is the fluid volume redistributed between the lower limbs and the neck by impedancemetry between T0 and T90 minutes and between T0 and after one night of supine.The concordance criterion is the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).

    Measured: 90 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Impedancemetry in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Fluid Retention, run by Poitiers University Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 26 Feb 2025. 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?

To evaluate the agreement between impedancemetry measurements at T90 minutes and impedancemetry measurements after an overnight supine position in the assessment of Fluid-Shift. (time frame: 90 minutes). 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 26 Feb 2025.
