Official title: The Relationship Between Body Awareness and Clinical Parameters in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Run by Karabuk University · NCT07743892 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This observational study asks people with obstructive sleep apnea to see how their sense of body awareness relates to their breathing, sleep quality, fatigue, and daily symptoms.

What this trial studies
This study explores how body awareness relates to respiratory function, disease severity, fatigue, shortness of breath, and sleep quality in adults with obstructive sleep apnea. It does not involve an intervention, but collects observational data from participants diagnosed with OSA after polysomnography. Researchers will examine associations between how patients perceive bodily sensations and key clinical and symptomatic measures. The initiative is led by Karabuk University at Karabük Training and Research Hospital. No collaborators are listed, and the setting is a single site in Karabük, Turkey.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Findings could help tailor patient education and self-management strategies by linking body awareness with disease experiences in OSA.
How similar studies have gone: Similar observational work has begun to map symptom perception in sleep disorders, but direct links to body awareness in OSA require further confirmation.
