The Effect of Head Pitch and Roll Rotation Independent of Torso Rotation on the AHI in Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Dual-axis inclinometer attached to the subject's forehead with tape for Sleep Disordered Breathing and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 8 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study evaluates the correlation of the position of the head during sleep, independent of the position of the torso, and the severity of apnea hypopneas in obstructive sleep apnea.

Timeline
Interventions
This is the first clinical trial in the industry to address OSA symptom severity and snoring as a direct function of head pitch and roll angle. The head pitch and roll angle can be used with high consistency to predict OSA symptom severity. The apnea equation is based on the gravitational crush forces of the mass of the tongue and nearby tissue on the upper air way and is valid for most OSA sufferers.
