Central and Peripheral 24-h Blood Pressure Before and After 3 Month of CPAP Treatment in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Denmark30 participantsStarted 2013-12
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 3 months of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in moderate to severe cases in patients with chronic kidney disease. The effect is evaluated on blood pressure levels, particularly nocturnal blood pressure, both central and peripheral, and renal function, including the kidneys treatment of salt and water.
Hypothesis:
1. Central 24-h blood pressure measuring is a reveals fluctuations in blood pressure during the day more accurately than peripheral 24-h blood pressure measuring because the measurement is painless and does not interfere with the patient activities during the daytime or nighttime sleep.
2. Central blood pressure is elevated in patients with OSA and falls during treatment with CPAP.
3. The renal tubular function relating to the treatment of water and sodium is abnormal in patients with OSA with increased tubular absorption of water via the U-aquaporin 2 (u-AQP2) and of sodium by epithelial sodium channel (ENAC) and is normalized during treatment with CPAP.
4 Quality of life is improved during treatment with CPAP.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
