Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07387094RecruitingPhase 3
A study of XW003 for obesity with sleep apnea (no CPAP)
This trial tests an investigational weekly injection called XW003 for weight loss in people who have obesity and moderate-to-severe sleep apnea but do not use a CPAP machine. It aims to see if the drug can help with weight loss and improve sleep apnea without the need for a breathing machine.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06189755Recruiting
MicroRNA markers for sleep apnea
This trial is studying tiny molecules in the blood (called microRNAs) to see if they can help diagnose or monitor obstructive sleep apnea. It compares people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who are starting PAP therapy with people who do not have sleep apnea.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT06334601Recruiting
Sleep apnea test to measure airway collapse and muscle response
This study looks at how the upper airway collapses and how muscles respond in people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during sleep. It may help researchers understand why some treatments work better for some people.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07176767Recruiting
Sleep study on insomnia and mask use in kids
This study looks at how insomnia affects how well children and teenagers use their breathing mask (PAP therapy) for sleep apnea. It aims to find ways to help kids stick with their treatment.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 8–18 - NCT07792746Recruiting
Sleep apnea markers and use of CPAP therapy
This study looks at whether certain markers in sleep apnea patients can predict how well they will stick with CPAP (a mask that helps you breathe at night). If you're newly diagnosed and about to start CPAP, this could help personalize your care.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06089603RecruitingPhase 4
CPAP for Sleep Apnea with High Red Blood Cells
This study tests whether CPAP therapy (a machine that helps keep your airway open while you sleep) can lower high red blood cell counts in people who have both sleep apnea and polycythemia. It may help reduce the need for other treatments.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–80 - NCT04905238Enrolling by invitation
Sleep apnea study linking breathing markers to memory changes
This trial looks at how severe sleep apnea breathing patterns relate to body “biomarkers” linked to Alzheimer’s disease, using blood or other measures. It may help researchers understand whether sleep apnea is connected to memory and brain health—and who might benefit most from better sleep care.
Palma, Balearic IslandsAges 18–65 - NCT07357272Recruiting
Blood pressure benefits in sleep apnea patients after CPAP
This trial studies whether CPAP treatment can improve blood pressure in people with obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to find out who benefits most from CPAP in terms of blood pressure control.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07679282RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing sleep apnea treatments: CPAP, mouthpiece, or medication
This study compares three treatments for obstructive sleep apnea: a CPAP machine, a dental mouthpiece, and a combination of two medications (atomoxetine and oxybutynin). Researchers want to see which works best for people recently diagnosed with sleep apnea.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT02784977Recruiting
Sleep apnea study using a national sleep database
This study collects information from adults who are getting a sleep test because obstructive sleep apnea is suspected. It helps researchers better understand sleep apnea and who develops it, without giving a new treatment.
IstanbulAges 18–80 - NCT07396649Recruiting
Upper airway stimulation for sleep apnea
This trial tests a device that stimulates the upper airway during sleep to treat obstructive sleep apnea. It may help people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who have trouble using a CPAP machine.
EdegemAges 19 years+ - NCT06570629Recruiting
Fixing air leaks with nasal CPAP
This trial looks at ways to fix air leaks that happen when using a CPAP mask at night. It may help if you have sleep apnea and your CPAP is leaking a lot despite using a nasal mask.
São Paulo, BrazilAges 18 years+ - NCT06570616Recruiting
Reducing mask leaks during CPAP for sleep apnea
This study tests a method to help CPAP users with nasal masks who have high air leaks. It aims to find better ways to reduce unintentional leaking so treatment works more effectively.
São Paulo, BrazilAges 18 years+ - NCT06564896Recruiting
Comparing sleep apnea treatments (CPAP vs alternatives)
This trial compares different positive airway pressure (PAP) machines to see which works best for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. If you have been diagnosed but haven't used a CPAP yet, this study may help find the best option for you.
Cheras, Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT05429983Recruiting
Predicts results from Inspire tongue-stimulation for sleep apnea
This study looks at how breathing mechanics during a sleep-related test (DISE) can help predict how well Inspire tongue (hypoglossal nerve) stimulation will work. It may help your care team choose the best approach and set expectations for improvement.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04191512Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for sleep apnea
This study compares two common treatments for moderate to severe sleep apnea: a device that keeps your airway open during sleep and a machine that delivers air pressure. It aims to see which works better for people like you.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 22 years+ - NCT07577661RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Electrical and medication combination therapy for sleep apnea
This trial tests whether combining electrical stimulation (via an Inspire device you already have or will get) with two medications can better treat obstructive sleep apnea. You'll help researchers understand if this combination works better than the device alone.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–79 - NCT05735444Recruiting
CPAP registry for sleep apnea in people with high blood pressure
This study keeps a record of people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who also have high blood pressure, to better understand how CPAP is used and what outcomes happen. It may help your care team by contributing your information to a large multi-center study in China.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07871149Recruiting
Perimenopausal symptom study for women with sleep apnea
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea can help women with menopause-related symptoms. It uses a home sleep test to check for sleep apnea and may offer treatment options to improve sleep and quality of life.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–40 - NCT04457154Recruiting
Registry for teens and young adults with OSA who can’t use CPAP
This study collects information in a registry to help doctors understand outcomes for young people with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who cannot use CPAP and may use an implantable breathing stimulation device. You might qualify if you’ve tried and couldn’t tolerate CPAP and you’re able/willing to get and use the device and return for follow-ups and sleep tests.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–21 - NCT06397365Recruiting
Hypnosis for better CPAP use
This trial tests if hypnosis sessions can help people with sleep-disordered breathing use their CPAP machine more consistently, especially if they are currently using it less than 3 hours a night.
