NCT02710071

Brief Summary

Patients who have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) frequently stop breathing while they sleep. They often develop high blood pressure. We are not sure what drug is best to treat the high blood pressure. This study will give the patients nebivolol or hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) for 6 weeks after 2 weeks of placebo. The blood pressure response will be evaluated by 24 hour monitoring.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 24-h, Wake and Sleep Period Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure

    24-h Systolic Blood Pressure is the average of all 24-h Ambulatory Systolic Blood Pressure recordings. The Wake Period Systolic Blood Pressure is the average of all Systolic Blood Pressures recorded every 15 minutes during the wake period. The Sleep Period Systolic Blood pressure is the average of all Systolic Blood Pressures recorded every 30 minutes during the sleep period. 24-h Diastolic Blood Pressure is the average of all 24-h Ambulatory Diastolic Blood Pressure recordings. The Wake Period Diastolic Blood Pressure is the average of all Diastolic Blood Pressures recorded every 15 minutes during the wake period. The Sleep Period Diastolic Blood pressure is the average of all Diastolic Blood Pressures recorded every 30 minutes during the sleep period.

    At the end of 2 weeks of placebo therapy, at the end of 6 weeks of Nebivolol therapy and at the end of 6 weeks of hydrochlorothiazide therapy.
