Diagnosing Sleep Apnea Using Muscle Activity from the Mouth
This observational study is exploring a new, quick, and painless way to detect Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) by measuring muscle activity in your mouth and throat. This technology is called transmembranous electromyography (tmEMG). Researchers want to see how well this method works compared to traditional sleep tests. You may be able to join if you are 18 to 80 years old and have had a previous sleep test that showed either no sleep apnea or moderate to severe sleep apnea. The study aims to determine how accurately this new method can diagnose sleep apnea. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an observational study with a planned enrollment of 60 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
- What's involved
- You will undergo a 2-night home sleep test. If these results match your prior sleep study, you will visit the clinic for testing of four muscles in your mouth and throat using the tmEMG probe during various movements.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoint, AUC (Area Under the Curve), is measured at 3 months, suggesting follow-up for at least this duration.
