Sleep Apnea Treatment With Expiratory Resistance(Provent™)
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Treatment sleep study (Provent™ device used), Baseline sleep study (No device), and 1 other intervention for Sleep Apnea, Obstructive. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) continues to be the primary therapy prescribed for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Although effective, adherence to CPAP is suboptimal in many patients, making alternative therapies desirable. Recently, a novel device (Provent™) has been developed for the treatment of snoring and OSA. The purpose of the current study is to examine how well the Provent™ device treats OSA with particular attention to the how the it may treat sleep apnea and who may most likely benefit from the use of this treatment.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The patient's sleep apnea severity is determined on this night while using the Provent™ device. The patient only uses the Provent™ device on this night (single night use only).
The patient sleeps for 1 night in the sleep lab to determine their baseline sleep apnea severity without sleeping with the Provent device.
During this sleep study night, the patient is sleeping with a modified Provent™ device that can be turned on and off to assess changes in airflow during the night (single night use only).Provent™ on/off is bracketed in 10 minute intervals during stable stage 2 sleep.
