About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

In the framework of pathophysiological trait in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, a simplified method is proposed to measure upper airway (UA) collapsibility and muscle responsiveness during wakefulness.

The group in the trial

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea

    Patients evaluated for sleep disorders, who present an at home-polygraphy with at least one EEG channel (PSG) reporting moderate-to severe obstructive sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index \>14).

    Treatment: Tests of upper airway collapsibility and muscle responsiveness.

Questions to ask the study team

  1. How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
  2. Are travel costs paid?
  3. Can I keep my own doctor?
  4. What happens if I want to stop?
