EVO Sleep and Snore Device for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(SLEEP Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests the safety and effectiveness of the EVO Sleep and Snore Device for individuals with severe obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep. The device is a mouthpiece that keeps airways open by adjusting the jaw's position. Participants should have severe sleep apnea without other complex sleep or breathing issues and a body mass index (BMI) under 35. The trial aims to determine if this device can reduce the frequency of breathing interruptions during sleep by at least half. As an unphased trial, it offers participants the opportunity to contribute to innovative research that could enhance sleep apnea treatment options.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are using CPAP or oral appliance therapy, you must stop these at least two weeks before the baseline sleep study.
What prior data suggests that the EVO Sleep and Snore Device is safe for treating severe obstructive sleep apnea?
Research has shown that the EVO Sleep and Snore Device is safe for treating obstructive sleep apnea. Previous studies found it to be as safe as other similar devices already available, indicating it works similarly and has a comparable safety level.
The FDA has approved the device for mild and moderate obstructive sleep apnea, confirming it has passed safety checks for these conditions. Although it is now being tested for severe cases, its safety record in milder cases offers some reassurance.
Studies have so far focused on tracking any unwanted side effects over six months of use. This ongoing monitoring helps ensure that any safety issues are quickly identified and addressed.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
The EVO Sleep and Snore Device is unique because it offers a new way to address obstructive sleep apnea by targeting the physical positioning of the jaw and airway, unlike traditional treatments like CPAP machines that use air pressure to keep airways open. This device is designed to be less intrusive and more comfortable, potentially improving compliance among users who find existing options cumbersome. Researchers are excited because it might provide an effective and more user-friendly alternative, enhancing the quality of life for those struggling with sleep apnea.
What evidence suggests that the EVO Sleep and Snore Device is effective for severe obstructive sleep apnea?
Research has shown that the EVO Sleep and Snore Device helps people with severe obstructive sleep apnea. In one study, 80% of patients with severe cases improved using this device. It works by moving the jaw to keep airways open during sleep. All patients in the study used the device as directed for the first three months, indicating ease of use. These results suggest that the EVO device is a promising option for people with severe sleep apnea.23567
