NCT00681161

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) causes autonomic dysfunction independent of its effects on hyperglycemia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • blood glucose level, composite autonomic system score (CASS), homeostasis assessment model (HOMA), insulin sensitivity index (ISI)

    6 months

Study Arms (1)

A

OTHER
Other: continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)

Interventions

Standard of care treatment for OSA, requires a mask attached by tubing to a device providing continuous pressure of air at a given cm of water pressure, acting as a splint to open airway at night to relieve obstruction.

Eligibility Criteria

Age21 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 21-80.
  • BMI between 25 and 35.
  • Symptoms strongly indicative of sleep apnea (loud snoring, witnessed apneas or history of OSA based on laboratory PSG within 3 months of screening, not currently using CPAP, oral appliances or other treatments for OSA)

You may not qualify if:

  • History of previous treatment for OSA.
  • History of diabetes.
  • History of other disorders known to affect autonomic function (e.g. Parkinson's disease, peripheral neuropathy of any cause, or requiring medications known to affect autonomic function that cannot be stopped safely for 48 hours).
  • No evidence of peripheral neuropathy on examination, negative laboratory tests for common causes of neuropathy (B12, Thyroid stimulating hormone, serum protein electrophoresis).
  • Inability to cooperate with testing, or to undergo testing (individuals with irregular heart rhythms, significant lung disease, previous LASIK procedure, unable to stop hypertensive medications for 48 hours).
  • Medications affecting glucose levels, hypoglycemic agents, high dose thiazide diuretics, beta blocking agents.
  • Pregnant or lactating females.
