Effects of Compression Stockings on Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Autonomic Nervous System in Patients Under Hemodialysis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Compression Stockings for Renal Failure Chronic Requiring Dialysis and Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Completed, enrolled 14 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
To study the effects of compression stockings on sleep apnea in hemodialysis patients with diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea. The rationale of this study consists in the fluid shift theory, which consists in the nocturnal rostral fluid shift from legs, which causes upper airways edema. The aim of this study is to evaluate if compression stockings could improve such nocturnal volume redistribution and, therefore, improve obstructive sleep apnea.
