About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) syndrome and treatment with continuous air pressure (CPAP) on the circadian intraocular pressure (IOP) patterns and its structural impact on the nerve fiber layer of the retina to analize the relationship between SAHS and glaucoma.

OBJECTIVES: 1. To study the PIO and its fluctuations in patients with SAHS before starting treatment with CPAP. Objective 2. To assess the effect of CPAP on circadian IOP patterns. 3. Evaluate the effect of changes in IOP in patients with OSA treated with CPAP in the nerve fiber layer of the retina.

METHODS: A prospective study to be monitored continuously for 24 hours IOP by contact lens device Sensimed Triggerfish (Sensimed AG, Switzerland). Objective 1. To monitore and compare the IOP for 24 hours at 74 patients diagnosed with SAHS before starting treatment with CPAP and 37 patients without OSA. Objective 2. To study the impact of CPAP treatment by a study design in two stages CPAP / sham CPAP. A first monitoring of IOP will be compared before starting treatment with CPAP, with monitoring a month (CPAP-sham CPAP) and 12 months after initiation of treatment with CPAP. Objective 3. To correlate the values obtained from the monitoring of IOP in the thickness of the nerve fiber layer of the retina, as measured by optical coherence tomography, at baseline and at 12 months after starting treatment with CPAP.

What is being measured

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

  1. Circadian rhythms

    Compare the circadian rhythms of continuously measured intraocular pressure for 24 hours between patients diagnosed with OSA before initiating CPAP treatment and a group of subjects without OSA.

    Measured: At baseline and 12 months

  2. Circadian intraocular pressure patterns

    Evaluate the effect of CPAP on circadian intraocular pressure patterns after one month and 12 months after starting OSA treatment with CPAP.

    Measured: At baseline, 1 month and 12 months

  3. IOP-followed patterns

    Correlate IOP-followed patterns for 24 hours in OSA patients with changes in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness from the start of the study and after 12 months of follow-up.

    Measured: At baseline and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Circadian rhythms

    Correlate circadian rhythms followed by IOP as well as changes in the retinal nerve fiber layer with cardio-respiratory polygraphic variables to detect possible risk factors for glaucoma among the OSA population.

    Measured: At baseline and 12 months

  2. OSA and lax eyelid syndrome (SPL)

    Analyze whether OSA patients who also have lax eyelid syndrome (SPL) have higher or more fluctuating intraocular pressure values that help explain the higher prevalence of glaucoma among patients with OSA and SPL.

    Measured: At baseline and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous positive airway pressure in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Sociedad Española de Neumología y Cirugía Torácica at 1 site in Spain.

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 4 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 8 May 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 Spain. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Circadian rhythms (time frame: At baseline and 12 months). The study lists 3 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 8 May 2024.
