Study Name and Survey Link | Research Details |
---|---|
Obstructive Sleep Apnea's Role in Alzheimer's Disease (ALZ) |
We will study how obstructive sleep apnea may contribute to the potential risk of Alzheimer's disease.
|
The Cardiovascular Consequences of Sleep Apnea plus COPD (Overlap Syndrome) (CRESCENDO) |
We will study cardiovascular risk in participants with OSA, COPD or both diseases (Overlap Syndrome) and assess whether oxygen or bi-level therapy is a better treatment.
|
Managing Opioid Related Sleep Apnea with Acetazolamide (MORPHO) |
We will study whether acetazolamide may help relive unstable breathing and if treatment has a positive effect on sleep and pain perception in people using opiods on a daily basis.
|
Do Endotypes Predict Response and Sequelae in OSA Patients (ExPRESSION) |
We will investigate various endotypes (unique mechanisms) of OSA and the effectiveness of treatments such as eszopiclone, supplemental oxygen therapy, and CPAP therapy.
|
Patient-centered and Neurocognitive Outcomes with Acetazolamide for Sleep Apnea (PANACEA) | We will compare effects of acetazolamide on OSA severity, neurocognitive function, and quality of life with a placebo to see if acetazolamide may be effective treatment for select OSA patients.
|
Endotype-Targeted Therapy to Rescue OSA Patients Struggling with CPAP Adherence (TOP-CPAP) |
We will assess whether eszopiclone can help patients (who struggle with CPAP) tolerate treatment for longer periods of sleep.
|
Time Restricted Eating in Sleep Apnea (TERESA) |
We will study the effects of time-restricted eating on glucose levels and sleep apnea.
|
Breakthrough Research in Electromyography for the Assessment of Sleep-disordered BreaTHing (BREATH STTR) |
We will assess whether if transmembranous EMG (tmEMG) can diagnose Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
