Clinical Trial: Pulmonary Disorders During Exercise in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Interventional



Official Title: Exercised-Induced Bronchoconstriction in Patients With Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Brief Summary:

Purposes:

  1. To investigate whether patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) are at higher risk for exercised-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) due to baseline airway inflammation compared with age, gender, and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls.
  2. To investigate the effect of 3-month continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on EIB for patients with severe OSAS.
