Gender: -
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Obstructive sleep apnea, carotid atherosclerose.
C08.618.085.852.850
C14.280.647.250.260
Intervention(s)
Polysomnography, ecodoppler, heart rate variability prior the study. After, the sample will be divided in 2 groups with 35 subjects, one group will use the placebo and, the other will use the oral appliance to treat sleep apnea.After 6 months, all exams will be done with oral appliance in situ.
Primary Outcome(s)
Ecodoppler to evaluate the effect of oral appliance and placebo on carotid distensibility.
Ecodoppler to evaluate the effect of oral appliance and placebo on carotid tickness.
Heart rate variability analysis to compare the effect of oral appliance and placebo on autonomic nervous system fuction.
Polysomnography to evaluate the effect of oral appliance and placebo on apnea/hypopnea index.
Pulse velocity to evaluate the effect oforal appliance and placebo on carotice stifness.
Secondary Outcome(s)
Polysomnogram to evaluate and compare the effect of oral appliance e placebo for other sleep variables.
