Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in the Score of the Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire at Baseline and Week 8 Treatment

    The primary endpoint is change after 8 weeks of treatment from baseline value (controlling for baseline value) in the 30-item Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ) that will be used to test the primary study hypothesis that patients with milder OSA (RDI 5-30) on active treatment will demonstrate greater mean change for the Total score from baseline to 8 weeks treatment. The FOSQ is designed to assess the impact of excessive sleepiness on functional status. The instrument has established content validity, test-retest reliability (r= 0.91), and internal consistency (alpha = 0.96). The scale ranges from 5 - 20 with normal functional status being a value greater than 17.

    8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Change in the Score From Baseline to 8 Weeks Treatment Epworth Sleepiness Scale

    Measured at Baseline and Week 8 of treatment in ITT sample

  • Change in Mean Arterial Daytime Pressure at Baseline and Week 8 Treatment

    Measured at Baseline and Week 8 treatment in the ITT sample

  • Change in the Score From Baseline to 8 Weeks Treatment Measured by the Profile of Mood States

    Measured at Baseline and Week 8 treatment in the ITT sample

  • Change in the Number of Lapses From Baseline to 8 Weeks Treatment on the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) - Total Lapses in 20 Minute Test

    Baseline and 8 weeks of treatment in the ITT sample

  • Change in the Score From Baseline to 8 Weeks Treatment on the SF36 - Physical

    Baseline and Week 8 of treatment in ITT sample.

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 100 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Newly diagnosed with OSA on overnight polysomnogram (PSG) with RDI between 5 and 30
  • Score of greater than 11 on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) on two administrations of the instrument (performed at prescreening and screening), each completed on a different day to avoid sporadic values and confirm the presence of excessive daytime sleepiness
  • Stable medical history and no change in medications, including hypertension medications, in the 3 months prior to study entry
  • Stable psychiatric history and no change in psychotropic medications in the 3 months prior to study entry
  • Has access to a telephone

You may not qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of another sleep disorder in addition to OSA based on PSG, e.g., periodic limb movement disorder (greater than 10 limb movements per hour of sleep with arousal); central sleep apnea (greater than 5 or more central apneas); insomnia; sleep hypoventilation syndrome; or narcolepsy
  • Previous treatment for sleep apnea with nasal CPAP, oral appliance, home oxygen therapy, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, tracheotomy, or other surgery for OSA
  • Oxygen or bi-level CPAP required for treatment of OSA
  • Unable to return for study instructions or follow-up testing
  • Medically unstable condition (e.g., heart attack, congestive heart failure, Cheyne-Stokes breathing, unstable angina, uncontrolled thyroid disease, unstable diabetes, depression or psychosis, ventricular arrhythmias, cirrhosis, or recently diagnosed cancer) in the 3 months prior to study entry
  • Regular use (greater than 3 times per week) of sedative, hypnotic, or alerting medications (such as Modafinil) in the 3 months prior to study entry
  • Chronic nasal congestion that would prevent the use of a nasal mask, in the 3 months prior to study entry
  • History of automobile accidents due to excessive daytime sleepiness
  • Employed in transportation-related safety sensitive occupation such as an airline pilot, truck driver, or train engineer
  • Night shift worker regularly experiencing jet lag, or a history of irregular work schedules in the 6 months prior to study entry
  • Regular use of alcohol as determined by answering yes to one or more of the questions on the CAGE questionnaire (i.e., alcohol dependent)
  • Recent or recurring history of substance abuse leading to tolerance or dependence
  • Pregnant; women must either be postmenopausal or confirmed not pregnant by a urine pregnancy test
  • Unable to perform study tests, e.g., inability to communicate verbally; inability to write and read in English; less than a 5th grade reading level (evaluated using Flesch-Kincaid assessment); visual impairment; hearing impairment; cognitive impairment (e.g., previous head injury); or upper extremity motor deficit (e.g., previous stroke or spinal cord injury)
  • Residing with an individual who is currently using CPAP treatment
