Incorporating Flow Limitation into the Diagnosis and Quantification of Sleep Disordered Breathing Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, calls or treatment using a genuine doctor. We are not docs. Always consult your dr. on Incorporating Flow Limitation into the Diagnosis and Quantification of Sleep Disordered Breathing conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Incorporating Flow Limitation into the Diagnosis and Quantification of Sleep Disordered Breathing Clinical research trials and Incorporating Flow Limitation into the Diagnosis and Quantification of Sleep Disordered Breathing healthcare trials occur in a lot of of places throughout the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the potency of new drugs. The intent of the studies / undertakings is to figure out certain human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for mDs, government agencies, and private sector corporations to locate remedies for all kinds of circumstances, including Incorporating Flow Limitation into the Diagnosis and Quantification of Sleep Disordered Breathing. Incorporating Flow Limitation into the Diagnosis and Quantification of Sleep Disordered Breathing Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Many times the participants undergo treatment for free, and sometimes they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Incorporating Flow Limitation into the Diagnosis and Quantification of Sleep Disordered Breathing clinical trial. Participants typically obtain the most effective healthcare available for their Incorporating Flow Limitation into the Diagnosis and Quantification of Sleep Disordered Breathing condition. Dangers are a reality, nonetheless, and can include extra or frequent mD trips, medical hazards (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Incorporating Flow Limitation into the Diagnosis and Quantification of Sleep Disordered Breathing



Incorporating Flow Limitation into the Diagnosis and Quantification of Sleep Disordered Breathing

For Condition: Sleep-Disordered Breathing
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) ,
Synopsis: The diagnosis and treatment of sleep disordered breathing have come to the forefront of clinical medicine following recognition of the high prevalence and associated morbidity of sleep apnea. The effects on quality of life as well as societal costs have been well documented. The NYU Sleep Research Laboratory has spent the last several years working on the problem of improving the diagnosis of mild sleep disordered breathing which manifests as the upper airway resistance syndrome. Our approach has been to develop a non-invasive technique to detect increased upper airway resistance directly from analysis of the airflow signal. A characteristic intermittent change of the inspiratory flow contour, which is indicative of the occurrence of flow limitation, correlates well with increased airway resistance. Currently all respiratory events are identified manually and totaled. This is time consuming and subject to variability. The objective of the present project is to improve upon the manual approach by implementing an artificially intelligent system for the identification and quantification of sleep disordered breathing based solely on non-invasive cardiopulmonary signals collected during a routine sleep study. The utility of other reported indices of sleep disordered breathing obtained during a sleep study will be evaluated. Successful development of an automated system that can identify and classify upper airway resistance events will simplify, standardize and improve the diagnosis of sleep disordered breathing, and greatly facilitate research and clinical work in this area. Using a physiological based determination of disease should allow better assessment of treatment responses in mild disease.
