Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The aim of this study is to examine a new method of device configuration for the Inspire upper airway stimulator. First, the investigators will attempt to determine optimal configuration by quantifying changes in upper airway size with different implant configurations using awake nasal endoscopy. The configuration/voltage that results in the greatest increase in upper airway size and is tolerated by the patient will be selected. Participants will then undergo a sleep study so that increased airway size may be correlated with changes in sleep study parameters including AHI and oxygen desaturation index (ODI). Airway size and sleep study parameters using the standard device configuration (+-+)/voltage will be compared to airway size and sleep study parameters using the test, or "optimal," configuration/voltage to determine the usefulness of awake endoscopy in activation of the Inspire device.

Investigators

The overall officials registered on this study. Names that resolve to a findmyKOL profile link to it; the rest are shown as registered.

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Sites

1 registered facility, with the per-site recruitment status where the registry publishes one. ClinicalTrials.gov does not publish per-site enrollment counts.

United States
  • Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania

    Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.
