Pilot Study of Negative Pressure Neck Therapy (NPNT)

Sponsor: University of British Columbia

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious, chronic sleep-related breathing disease in which the upper airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, leading to intermittent oxygen deprivation. This pilot study will evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Negative Pressure Neck Therapy (NPNT) in up to 10 healthy participants. Participants will undergo 2 separate home sleep apnea tests (HSAT) approximately 1 week apart and will be randomly assigned to wear the NPNT device at either night 1 or night 2 of HSAT. Participation will include 5 on-site visits and 1 phone call over approximately 1 month.

Official title: A Proof-of-concept Pilot Study to Determine the Safety and Effectiveness of the Negative Pressure Neck Therapy (NPNT) in Healthy Participants.
