Rescue Pharmacotherapy for OSA
Recruiting
Persistent obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in people treated with mandibular advancement device (MAD) or hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS). For most patients, these treatments are the last line of defense. If MAD or HGNS do not work, then patients are left to suffer the consequences of undertreated OSA. In this study, the investigators want to test the addition of a drug treatment to their regimen. Endotypes will be targeted pharmacologically with one of the following drugs: acetazola... Read More

Investigating Speech Sequencing in Neurotypical Speakers and Persons With Disordered Speech
Recruiting
Persistent developmental stuttering affects more than three million people in the United States, and it can have profound adverse effects on quality of life. Despite its prevalence and negative impact, stuttering has resisted explanation and effective treatment, due in large part to a poor understanding of the neural processing impairments underlying the disorder. The overall goal of this study is to improve understanding of the brain mechanisms involved in speech motor planning and how these ar... Read More

Phenotyping Asthma for Bronchial Thermoplasty
Recruiting
This study will evaluate a new imaging technology, called optical coherence tomography (OCT) to examine the asthmatic airways before and after bronchial thermoplasty, which is a new treatment option for severe asthmatic patients. The aim of this study is to learn more about how airways respond to this new treatment. In the future the investigators hope OCT will aid clinicians in the initial assessment, management and long-term follow up of patients receiving bronchial thermoplasty.
