n(g),n(g')-dimethyl-l-arginine and Sleep Apnea Syndromes

n(g),n(g')-dimethyl-l-arginine has been researched along with Sleep Apnea Syndromes in 2 studies

N,N-dimethylarginine: asymmetric dimethylarginine; do not confuse with N,N'-dimethylarginine

Sleep Apnea Syndromes: Disorders characterized by multiple cessations of respirations during sleep that induce partial arousals and interfere with the maintenance of sleep. Sleep apnea syndromes are divided into central (see SLEEP APNEA, CENTRAL), obstructive (see SLEEP APNEA, OBSTRUCTIVE), and mixed central-obstructive types.

Trial Outcomes

CPAP Compliance Among Chinese Elderly

Elderly subjects who agree for home CPAP treatment are prescribed nasal CPAP units with time clocks to assess objective compliance (run time). (NCT02085720)
Timeframe: 1 year

Interventionhours (Mean)
Chinese Elderly OSAS4.2

Prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Chinese Elderly

Subjects who have completed the questionnaires and consented for sleep study are invited to undergo a portable at-home sleep study (EMBLETTA). It is a multi-channel screening tool that measures airflow through a nasal cannula connected to a pressure transducer, providing an apnea hypopnea index (AHI) based on recording time. AHI is the average number of events per hour while 5-15 events per hour denotes mild OSA, 16-30 events moderate OSA, and >30 events severe OSA. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is defined as AHI 15 events or above or AHI being 5 or above pulus ESS 10 or more. This measure is reporting the percentage of participants with OSAS. (NCT02085720)

Prevalence of Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)

RLS is a disorder characterized by disagreeable leg sensations that usually occur before sleep onset, causing an almost irresistible urge to move the legs. As minimal criteria for diagnosis, the following four features were required: (1) desire to move the extremities, often associated with paresthesias and/or dysesthesias; (2) motor restlessness; (3) worsening of symptoms at rest, with at least temporary relief by activity; and (4) worsening of symptoms in the evening or at night.
