Early Sleep Apnea Termination Using Sound Stimulation

NCT03753971 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 8

Last updated 2020-11-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Current evidence suggest that sleep apnea-associated oxygen desaturations may induce cardiovascular morbidities in the long term, whereas arousals associated with sleep apneas seem to induce mainly transient nocturnal hypertension. Reducing the occurrence and the magnitude of sleep apnea-associated oxygen desaturations could therefore have a beneficial effect on sleep apnea-associated comobidities. Since sleep apneas usually end with an arousal allowing pharyngeal muscles reactivation, a treatment option could consist of generating an early short awakening to anticipate apnea termination and decrease the risk of oxygen desaturation. The aim of this study is thus to determine if an early sleep apnea termination through the emission of a sound can achieve lower oxygen desaturations compared with "untreated" sleep apneas.
