Autonomic Regulation in Prader-Willi Syndrome

Overview

To evaluate autonomic regulation in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome with sleep-disordered breathing.

Full Title of Study: “Impact of Sleep-disordered Breathing on Autonomic Regulation in Patients With Prader-Willi Syndrome”

Study Type

  • Study Type: Observational [Patient Registry]
  • Study Design
    • Time Perspective: Prospective
  • Study Primary Completion Date: July 31, 2022

Detailed Description

To evaluate the relationship between narcolepsy and sleep-disordered breathing, the natural course of untreated or treated sleep-disordered breathing and its impacts on autonomic regulation in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome with sleep-disordered breathing.

Interventions

  • Diagnostic Test: Polysomnography
    • overnight polysomnography recording at least six hours
  • Diagnostic Test: Multiple sleep latency test
    • daytime naps at least four to five naps to evaluate daytime sleepiness and narcolepsy
  • Other: Continuous positive airway pressure
    • continuous positive airway pressure treatment for sleep-disordered breathing

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Control
    • Healthy subjects, 7-75 y/o
  • Study
    • 7-75 y/o, diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Narcolepsy prevalence
    • Time Frame: 1day
    • Compare the narcolepsy prevalence amount healthy and Prader-Willi syndrome with or without sleep-disordered breathing

Secondary Measures

  • The natural course and its impact of untreated sleep-disordered breathing on autonomic regulation in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome.
    • Time Frame: 12 months
    • Autonomic function measurements (low frequency power and high frequency power, presented as normalized units, and the overall autonomic regulation presented as Low frequency/high frequency ratio) using the EKG signal extracting from overnight polysomnography recording raw data among Prader-Willi patients with untreated sleep-disordered breathing at baseline and after a period of follow-up.
