Brief Summary:
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) continues to be the primary therapy prescribed for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Although effective, adherence to CPAP is suboptimal in many patients, making alternative therapies desirable. Recently, a novel device (Provent™) has been developed for the treatment of snoring and OSA. The purpose of the current study is to examine how well the Provent™ device treats OSA with particular attention to the how the it may treat sleep apnea and who may most likely benefit from the use of this treatment.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Single arm - Sleep apnea

Participants with sleep apnea will be recruited for the study. Each participant will undergo 3 sleep studies to assess the effect of the Provent™ device. Participants will only use the device while they are in the sleep laboratory. They will not use the device at home between sleep studies .

  1. Baseline sleep study (No device) - Assess the effects of no Provent™ on sleep apnea severity.
  2. Treatment sleep study (Provent™ device used) - Assess the effects of Provent™ on sleep apnea severity
  3. Physiology sleep study (Provent™ on/off) - Assess the physiological effects of the Provent™ device on breathing during sleep.
 Device: Treatment sleep study (Provent™ device used)
The patient's sleep apnea severity is determined on this night while using the Provent™ device. The patient only uses the Provent™ device on this night (single night use only).

Other: Baseline sleep study (No device)
The patient sleeps for 1 night in the sleep lab to determine their baseline sleep apnea severity without sleeping with the Provent device.

Other: Physiology sleep study (Provent™ on/off)
During this sleep study night, the patient is sleeping with a modified Provent™ device that can be turned on and off to assess changes in airflow during the night (single night use only).Provent™ on/off is bracketed in 10 minute intervals during stable stage 2 sleep.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in AHI [ Time Frame: Comparisons were made between the 2 nights ]
    The primary outcome was the change in the apnea hypopnea index (AHI). Sleep apnea events are defined as apneas and hypopneas.The AHI is a measure of sleep apnea severity. An AHI > 5 event/h is considered abnormal. AHI values are typically categorized as 5-15 events/hr = mild; 15-30 events/hr = moderate; and > 30 events/hr = severe. For this study we compared the change in AHI from the baseline sleep study (No Provent) compared to the treatment night sleep study (on Provent).
