Stimulation Therapy for Apnea Reduction Clinical Trial Outcomes
The Stimulation Therapy for Apnea Reduction (STAR) clinical trial began in 2010 at 22 leading medical centers across the United States and Europe. One-year STAR Trial outcome measures were published in the January 9, 2014 version of the New England Journal of Medicine. Results showed that sleep apnea patients receiving Inspire therapy experienced significant reductions in sleep apnea events and significant improvements in quality of life measures .
The significant improvements and reductions measured after 1-year were sustained over a 5-year follow-up period. The outcomes include:
- 79% reduction in AHI events (Figure 1)
- Significant improvements in daytime functioning as measured by FOSQ score (Figure 2)
- Significant reductions in daytime sleepiness as measured by the ESS (Figure 3)
- 90% of bed partners reported soft or no snoring for their partner, as compared to only 17% of bed partners at baseline (Figure 4)
