Study Summary

This is a pilot study to examine the diagnostic utility of a novel transmembrane surface sensor, and compare signals obtained with the transmembrane sensor to conventional needle EMG signals from healthy volunteers to those with documented neurologic pharyngeal muscle dysfunction (ALS and muscular dystrophy) and to those with severe OSA.

Eligible Conditions
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea
  • Healthy Subjects
  • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
  • Muscular Dystrophy

Timeline

Screening ~ 3 weeks
Treatment ~ Varies
Follow Up ~1 hour
This trial's timeline: 3 weeks for screening, Varies for treatment, and 1 hour for reporting.
