Monitoring of Non-invasive Ventilation During Sleep in ALS

NCT01889043 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Last updated 2015-12-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has already shown to improve survival and quality of life in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Quality of sleep seems already to be impaired in patients with preserved diaphragmatic dysfunction. Until now, only few research has been performed on the quality of sleep in patients with ALS when using NIV, and these data are mainly based on patient reported outcomes.Further on, only very little research has been done on patient-ventilator interaction.

Our study would like to perform research on quality of sleep before and after NIV use by using full polysomnography with incorporation of transcutaneous carbon dioxide measurement and built-in ventilator software.
