Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT07427589Recruiting
New Heart Tests in Sleep Apnea
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects your heart and blood vessels over time. It uses a sleep study and heart tests to see if certain measurements can predict heart health changes.
AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT07301710RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Low-tech treatments for sleep apnea
This study tests simple, low-tech treatments (like exercises) for sleep apnea. It's for people who are newly diagnosed or whose current treatment isn't working, and who are willing to pause their usual treatment for 3 months.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT07303452Recruiting
New device for sleep apnea in adults
This trial tests a new device called Restera™ Serene™ for people with obstructive sleep apnea who cannot use or do not want a CPAP mask. It may offer an alternative treatment option.
PerthAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07277608Recruiting
Study on sleep apnea patients and their health over time
This study looks at patients with suspected or confirmed obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) to understand the condition better. Researchers will follow patients for at least one year to learn more about the underlying causes and how it affects health.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07169058Enrolling by invitation
Hands-on therapy for sleep apnea: a gentle technique
This study tests a gentle manual therapy applied to the neck to see if it can improve breathing and vital signs during sleep. It is for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who are not currently using a CPAP machine or other breathing devices.
Mardin, MardinAges 18–65 - NCT07149233Enrolling by invitation
Breathing muscle training for sleep apnea patients
This trial tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe can improve sleep for people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. It is for adults who are not currently receiving standard treatments like CPAP.
Recife, PernambucoAges 18–70 - NCT07129967Recruiting
Mouth and face exercises for childhood sleep apnea
This study tests whether simple exercises for the mouth, tongue, and face can help children with mild sleep apnea breathe better during sleep. It's a non-surgical, drug-free approach that may be a good option for kids who haven't tried other treatments.
GhentAges 6–12 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06930404Recruiting
New ways to diagnose sleep apnea
This study tests new ways to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea. If you haven't been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06971796Recruiting
EURO-STIM Registry for Inspire implant users
This study gathers information from people who have or will receive an Inspire implant for sleep apnea. By joining, you help doctors learn how well the therapy works over time.
KlagenfurtAges 18 years+ - NCT06960200RecruitingPhase 2
Phototherapy for sleep apnea when a mouthpiece didn't work
This study tests a light-based treatment (phototherapy) for people with sleep apnea who tried an oral mouthpiece but still have symptoms. The goal is to see if this therapy can offer relief when other options haven't worked fully.
EdmontonAges 18 years+ - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–50 - 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.
