NCT06960161
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a type of light therapy like lasers and LEDs. PBM was previously known by different terms like "low-level laser therapy" (LLLT) or "photobiostimulation." LLLT, despite its name, can also have effects beyond biomodulation, including thermal effects useful in medical imaging and therapy. PBM works by interacting with our biological systems, and its clinical benefits depend on factors like light wavelength, and energy output. PBM has various clinical applications, such as wound healing, pain management, and treatment in sports injuries. It's also used as an adjunct to surgery, reducing risks and improving outcomes in areas like wound healing and inflammation. In oral medicine, PBM is applied to conditions like oral aphthous ulcers and is well-recognized for its positive effects in treatment of oral inflammation for oncology patients. Recent studies indicate that PBM, when administered by trained professionals, can improve sleep quality and reduce snoring/SDB in adults. There's potential for its use in treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), showing effectiveness similar to dental sleep appliances but with fewer side effects. This effect seems to be from stabilization of the upper airway. Combining PBM with other therapies, like dental sleep appliances, has shown promise in enhancing effectiveness. However, whether the effect of PBM in stabilizing the upper airway to reduce snoring/SDB can be used in combination with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to decrease CPAP pressures and improve patient compliance has not been explored.
NCT06545903
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate four supraglottic airway devices for ventilation in a simulated condition of an entrapped trauma patient with simultaneous cervical spine immobilisation. All the studied devices are evaluated by fully-qualified and experienced paramedics (both male and female). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Which device requires the shortest time required to achieve a successful ventilation? 2. What is the first attempt success rate of the studied devices? 3. Which device is the easiest to use and the most user-friendly? Study participants will evaluate four different supraglottic devices in a restricted access to the entrapped trauma patient's airway. The maximum number of insertion attempts is limited to three per device.
