ACTIGRAPHY AND POLYSOMNOGRAPHY IN ASTHMA

这项研究试图检验动作记录仪可以检测到的假设 与症状相关的夜间哮喘的变化。我们会 确认最佳药物治疗可改善患者的睡眠质量 患有夜间哮喘。然后我们将尝试证明 动作记录仪将检测记录的零碎睡眠 有夜间症状的哮喘患者的多导睡眠图及其改进 通过优化医疗管理实现睡眠。患有疾病的患者 夜间哮喘患者将佩戴运动仪三个晚上，其中一个晚上 将包括传统的多导睡眠图。他们的药物将是 经过优化，在两周内将重复这一过程。肺 功能测试将在进入时和两周后进行。数据将 被称为频率分析的唯一分析度量 我们设计的连续的时代(脸)。我们将对这些进行比较 结果与多导睡眠图、哮喘问卷和 睡眠调查问卷。

This study seeks to test the hypothesis that actigraphy can detect changes in nocturnal asthma that correlate with symptoms. We will confirm that optimal medical therapy improves sleep quality in patients with nocturnal asthma. We will then attempt to demonstrate that actigraphy will detect the fragmented sleep documented by polysomnography in asthmatics with nocturnal symptoms and the improved sleep achieved by optimizing medical management. Patients with nocturnal asthma will wear the actigraph for three nights, one of which will include traditional polysomnography. Their medications will be optimized, and in two weeks the process will be repeated. Pulmonary function tests will be done at entry and at two weeks time. Data will be analyzed by a unique analytic measure called Frequency Analysis of Consecutive Epochs (FACE) that we have designed. We will compare these results with those from polysomnography, an asthma questionnaire and a sleep questionnaire.
