简要总结
The primary objective of this study is to observe if Sibutramine is effective in improving the symptoms and signs of sleep apnea in obese patients. The secondary objectives are to document the effects of Sibutramine on heart rate variability and 24-h arterial pressure values. We hypothesized that sibutramine will improve sleep disordered breathing, cardiac autonomic function and systemic blood pressure in obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

入选标准
- •Eligible participants with non-treated OSA syndrome were aged between 18 to 65 years, with a body-mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2 or ≥ 27 kg/m2 in the presence of other risk factors such as controlled systemic hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia and/or visceral obesity (as defined by a waist circumference ≥ 102 cm in men and ≥ 88 cm in women).
排除标准
- •Exclusion criteria were uncontrolled systemic hypertension defined as blood pressure > 145/90 mm Hg, previous pharmacological or surgical treatment for weight loss, had already used CPAP or had severe diurnal hyper somnolence requiring immediate treatment.
研究组 & 干预措施
1
The first group received sibutramine 10 mg for the first 4 weeks, at which time consideration of increasing dosage to 15 mg was re-evaluated in the case of insufficient weight loss (< 1.8 kg) over the first month of treatment.
干预措施: Sibutramine (Drug)
2
A standard reference group, which was paired according to age and BMI, received CPAP as a treatment for OSA.
干预措施: CPAP (Device)
