Arm and hand function in obesity hypoventilation syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well your arms and hands work if you have obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), a condition where breathing is not deep enough during sleep due to obesity. By participating, you may help doctors understand more about arm function in OHS, which could lead to better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) by a doctor.
- You do not have nerve, muscle, or bone problems that limit arm movement or understanding.
- You do not have any other lung disease.
- You do not have uncontrolled heart disease or uncontrolled diabetes.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how too much carbon dioxide in the blood (a common problem for people with obesity and sleep apnea) affects breathing during an overnight sleep study. By watching this, doctors hope to find better ways to diagnose and treat sleep apnea in people with obesity.
This study looks at how people breathe while using their nighttime breathing machine (NIV). It helps doctors understand breathing patterns better for people with COPD or OHS.
This study looks at whether a simple breathing measurement taken before weight-loss surgery can help predict if you might have low oxygen levels after surgery. If you are already scheduled for this type of surgery, participating may help doctors improve care for future patients.
This study looks at whether simple physical tests, like handgrip strength and a 6-minute walk test, can predict how well your body handles oxygen before surgery. It may help doctors improve care during anesthesia.
This study looks at how obesity affects breathing and physical function. It tests whether a special exercise program can improve lung and muscle strength in people with obesity who have a restrictive breathing pattern.
This study looks at how your body shape, measured by the body roundness index, affects your breathing and exercise ability. It may help doctors understand how obesity impacts daily activities and fitness.
