Sleep Study Opportuntiy

Post by mom2tom » Fri Oct 30, 2009 7:51 am

I thought you might be interested in a clinical research study now enrolling people with a past head injury who feel sleepy during the day. This study is going on at various study centers around the US. Go to this website for more information: http://www.HeadSleepStudy.com.

I only looked at the page you linked, but did not go further into the site. Is there something that talks about OSA there? Head injuries, such as concussions, do very often have long term sleepiness, but for very different reasons than OSA. If there is some connection it would be interesting to know about.

I ran through the questionnaire and anyone who has obstructive sleep apnea is rejected from the study (as I suspected).

I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycw4uaX ... re=related
