Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT06434558Enrolling by invitation
MRI predictors of cryolysis for sleep apnea
This study uses MRI scans to see how well a cold treatment (cryolysis) works for obstructive sleep apnea. It is only open to people already in the ARCTIC-3 trial at the University of Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT03307330Recruiting
Study of body fat in people with obstructive sleep apnea
This study looks at how body fat (“adipose tissue”) may differ in people with obstructive sleep apnea. You may be asked for consent and could be asked to stop certain medicines short-term so researchers can take a safe fat sample.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–60 - NCT00695214RecruitingPhase 2
Test with medicine-assisted sleep endoscopy for sleep apnea
This trial studies how well a procedure done while you sleep helps doctors understand the blockage causing obstructive sleep apnea and plan surgery. You may be helped if you’re an adult with sleep apnea who is considering surgical treatment.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07186725Recruiting
Home sleep monitor for obstructive sleep apnea
This trial tests a new home-based sleep monitor that goes under your mattress. It may help people with obstructive sleep apnea who are using a mouthpiece (MAD) as treatment.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–80 - NCT06568159Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment in heart patients
This study looks at how well people with heart disease or high heart risk follow their sleep apnea treatment, comparing a mouth device (MAD) to a CPAP machine. It aims to find which treatment works better for daily use.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT07376343Recruiting
Comparing CPAP pressure formulas vs lab titration for sleep apnea
This study compares two ways to set CPAP machine pressure for Thai people with obstructive sleep apnea: using a quick formula versus a full overnight lab test. It helps find the best pressure more easily.
Pathum ThaniAges 18 years+ - NCT07364318Recruiting
Thinking and memory in sleep apnea
This study looks at how thinking and memory are affected in people with newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops briefly during sleep). It aims to understand the impact of sleep apnea on brain function.
BratislavaAges 18–65 - NCT06748703Recruiting
Optic nerve injury in obstructive sleep apnea patients
This study looks at whether sleep apnea affects the optic nerve, which connects your eye to your brain. It is for people newly diagnosed with sleep apnea who have not yet received treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06783998Enrolling by invitation
Breathing muscle health in sleep apnea
This trial studies how sleep apnea affects the muscles you use to breathe. It may help doctors better understand and treat breathing problems in people with sleep apnea.
Mersin, MersinAges 18 years+ - NCT06382883Recruiting
Lifestyle and activity for sleep apnea
This study tests a lifestyle and physical activity program as a treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It is for people who have not tried CPAP and want to see if exercise and healthy habits can help.
JyväskyläAges 18–70 - NCT06117579Recruiting
Breathing Muscle Training for Sleep Apnea
This trial tests whether a simple breathing exercise (training the muscles you use to breathe in) can improve sleep apnea symptoms in people who already use CPAP. The goal is to see if adding this training helps you feel better or need less CPAP pressure.
OrléansAges 18 years+ - NCT05953610RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery study for sleep apnea when CPAP won’t work
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a specific type of palate surgery can treat moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea in people who cannot tolerate CPAP (a breathing mask). It also checks patient traits (based on sleep testing) to see who is most likely to benefit from surgery.

- How do I know if I qualify for a apnea, obstructive trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a apnea, obstructive trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
