OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME

This study tested whether adding a telerehabilitation program (using a mobile app, video calls, and online coaching) to standard CPAP therapy helps obese adults with severe sleep apnea. 180 participants were followed for 6 months to see if the program improved daytime sleepiness,…

This study tested whether a mild electrical current applied to the head (called transcranial electrostimulation, or TES) can help control pain after major sleep apnea surgery. 45 patients received TES along with standard care. The goal was to see if TES reduces pain and the need …

This study looked at whether surgery to fix a blocked nose can improve snoring and sleep apnea in adults. Thirty people with nasal obstruction and sleep apnea had surgery. The main goal was to see if their breathing pauses during sleep (measured by the apnea-hypopnea index) got b…

This study looked at how having fibromyalgia changes body measurements and sleep patterns in people with obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers measured neck, waist, and hip sizes, and used sleep tests and ultrasound to compare 77 participants. The goal was to better understand the…

This completed pilot study looked at whether a quick, non-invasive eye scan (OCT angiography) can detect early blood vessel changes in the retina of people with obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers compared 166 adults with and without sleep apnea. The goal was to see if retinal i…

This study looked at how sleep quality, when people eat, and gut bacteria are linked to obesity. Researchers tested a mobile app to help people make healthier lifestyle changes. The study included 133 adults with different body weights, including some with sleep apnea. The goal w…

This study looked at 28 people with both stable coronary artery disease and moderate sleep apnea. Researchers measured blood markers of oxidative stress (a type of cell damage) before and after 3 months of CPAP therapy. The goal was to see if CPAP could reduce oxidative stress, w…
