Recruiting studies
- NCT07723144Recruiting
Identifying sleep apnea biomarkers
This study compares blood samples from people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and those without sleep apnea to find markers that could help diagnose or treat the condition. Half of those with sleep apnea will start CPAP therapy right away, while others wait before starting.
Bialystok, Podlaskie VoivodeshipAges 18–65 - NCT07714330Recruiting
Using sound cues to treat positional sleep apnea
This study tests a device that plays sound cues to help you stay off your back while sleeping, which may reduce sleep apnea events. It's for people whose sleep apnea is worse when sleeping on their back.
Burlingame, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT04179981Recruiting
CPAP treatment effects in older COPD and sleep apnea patients
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
Detroit, MichiganAges 60 years+ - NCT05911646Recruiting
Tool to help decisions for mild sleep apnea in kids
This trial looks at OSA-18, a questionnaire that may help families and clinicians make better decisions about treatment for a child’s mild sleep apnea. It specifically focuses on children with enlarged tonsils and mild sleep study results.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 3–12 - NCT06332404Recruiting
Sleep apnea nerve stimulation therapy registry
This study is tracking how well a nerve stimulation device works for people with obstructive sleep apnea who can't use a CPAP machine. The device, called Inspire, sends mild electrical pulses to help keep your airway open while you sleep.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18–99 - NCT06677151Recruiting
New sleep apnea device study for CPAP users
This study tests a new device for sleep apnea that you can use instead of a CPAP machine. If you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and CPAP isn't working well for you, this study may help find an easier option.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06803095Recruiting
Walking with a dog for tinnitus relief in sleep apnea
This study tests whether walking with a dog can help reduce tinnitus complaints in people who have mild sleep apnea and are overweight. It aims to see if this simple, enjoyable activity can improve your symptoms.
Dokki, Giza GovernorateAges 30–45 - NCT07332442RecruitingPhase 3
CPAP and arousal in new sleep apnea patients
This study tests whether a common sleep apnea treatment (CPAP) affects how easily you wake up and the reasons behind it. It is for people who have just been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are not taking certain sleep medications or alcohol.
North Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07635563RecruitingPhase 2
Sleep Apnea Treatment with Dronabinol and Acetazolamide
This study tests a combination medication (dronabinol and acetazolamide) to treat obstructive sleep apnea in people who cannot tolerate or use CPAP machines. The goal is to find the right dose that safely reduces breathing interruptions during sleep.
Chula Vista, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT05739617Recruiting
Breathing and sleep training for people with sleep apnea
This trial tests a comprehensive breathing and respiratory exercise program for newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help by improving sleep breathing and reducing apnea-related symptoms. You may be eligible if you recently learned you have OSA and meet age and health criteria.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 20–65 - NCT07301125Enrolling by invitation
Tongue and mouth exercises for sleep apnea
This study tests if doing specific tongue and mouth exercises can help people with obstructive sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea and are willing to pause other treatments for 3 months, you may be able to join.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–65 - NCT07049744Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for adults with obstructive sleep apnea
This trial tests a device that stimulates a nerve to keep your airway open during sleep. It might help if you have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea and cannot use a CPAP mask.
Canberra, Australian Capital TerritoryAges 21 years+ - NCT03109171Recruiting
Test accuracy using a scope-based feeling test for sleep apnea
This study checks how accurately a special camera/scope test can measure throat sensation in people being evaluated for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). If the test works well, it may help improve how clinicians understand and assess OSA-related changes.
Bogotá, Bogota D.C.Ages 18 years+ - NCT04712656Recruiting
CPAP treatment for sleep apnea and blood pressure changes
This study tests whether using CPAP (a breathing machine) for obstructive sleep apnea can improve blood pressure and heartbeat timing. You’ll have blood pressure checked at the start and again after 6 months, along with a sleep evaluation to confirm eligibility.
Columbus, OhioAges 30–75 - NCT05303987RecruitingPhase 2
Dexmedetomidine or propofol for sleep endoscopy in children
This Phase 2 study compares two medicines used to help children sleep during a procedure called drug-induced sleep endoscopy. It’s for children with obstructive sleep apnea who are being evaluated before adenotonsillectomy, to help surgeons understand the cause of the blockage and potentially improve treatment planning.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 3–11 - NCT05497180RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an oral device to reduce snoring and mild sleep apnea
This Phase 1 study tests whether a passive mouth/oral appliance can lessen snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea. It may help you by improving airflow during sleep without other intensive treatments.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 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 - 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 - NCT06519149Recruiting
Device for sleep apnea without CPAP
This trial tests a device placed in your mouth during sleep to treat obstructive sleep apnea. It may be an option if you cannot or do not want to use a CPAP machine.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06681974RecruitingPhase 3
Throat therapy for sleep apnea without CPAP
This trial tests a type of mouth and throat therapy to see if it can help people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who can't or don't want to use a CPAP machine. It might be an option if you want a non-machine treatment for your sleep apnea.
SantanderAges 18–70 - NCT06715228Recruiting
Breathing exercise for sleep apnea
This trial tests a special breathing exercise program (called Shitali) to see if it helps people with mild or moderate sleep apnea who are not obese. If you qualify, you'll learn a gentle therapy that may improve your sleep without machines or medicine.
Dokki, Giza GovernorateAges 35–55 - NCT06720545Recruiting
Short break from nerve stimulation therapy and heart health
This study looks at what happens to your heart health and metabolism when you stop using a nerve stimulator for sleep apnea for a short time. It may help understand the risks and benefits of taking a break from this therapy.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06875479Recruiting
Testing a sleep tracking mat for sleep apnea diagnosis
This study tests if a special sleep tracking mat can accurately diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) compared to the standard overnight sleep test. If you snore, feel sleepy during the day, or have poor sleep, joining could help improve diagnosis methods.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06915831Recruiting
Type 1 diabetes and sleep apnea study
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects blood sugar control in adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand if treating sleep apnea improves diabetes management.
