Brief summary
Pivotal clinical trial, multicenter of superiority, randomized, double-blind, parallel groups, placebo-controlled and use of nasal lubricant on snoring.
Detailed description
This study is designed for the improvement of snoring, characterized by a noise caused by the vibration of tissues obstructing the nasopharynx and oropharynx during sleep. It is performed in participants of both sexes, over 18 years of age, who complain of snoring. The rationale for studying the use of a medical device with nasal spray solution for snoring improvement is due to the fact that surface tension in the pharyngeal mucosa plays an important role in determining airway collapsibility.
Interventions
The medical device with nasal spray solution should be used 1 time a day, before bedtime, for 30 days.
The medical device with placebo should be used 1 time a day, before bedtime, for 30 days.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The effect of nasal lubricant in the improvement of snoring when compared to placebo. | 30 days of medical device use | For the primary endpoint, the level of continuous noise equivalent to the sound produced during sleep - LAeqT (equivalent-continuous sound pressure level), in dB(A), with a frequency filter in the weighting (sound level meter - Fusion SLM®) will be evaluated. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The effect of nasal lubricant on snoring reduction during polysomnography | 30 days of medical device use | Qualitative noise evaluation through standardized algorithm with maximum noise peak (in dB), evaluated by Fusion SLM® sound level meter; Evaluation of oximetry, through Biologix® |
