A Double-Blind Randomized Physiological Study Examining the Effects of Eszopiclone on the Arousal Threshold and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity
In Brief
A Early Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Eszopiclone and Placebo for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Completed, enrolled 17 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out whether taking eszopiclone (Lunesta) changes the breathing effort required to briefly wake people with obstructive sleep apnea from sleep (respiratory arousal threshold). We would like to see if taking eszopiclone can reduce the severity of obstructive sleep apnea in some people (those that have a low respiratory arousal threshold; i.e. wake up easily to respiratory stimuli).
