Recruiting studies
- NCT05147649Recruiting
Brain scan study in severe sleep apnea without CPAP
This trial uses a specialized brain scan (MRI) to study people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who are not using CPAP. It also compares them with people who do not have sleep apnea to understand how brain function differs.
ReimsAges 18–75 - NCT05052216Recruiting
Wearable monitor study for kids’ sleep apnea
This study tests a wearable device that can help monitor breathing and sleep in children. It compares children with sleep apnea to children without sleep apnea using a simple nighttime monitoring approach.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–12 - NCT07191314Recruiting
Long-term study of a nasal airway for sleep apnea
This study is for people who already finished a previous study using a device called a nasopharyngeal airway (a small tube placed in the nose to help with breathing during sleep). It will check how well the device works over a longer time.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07301762Enrolling by invitation
Manual lymphatic drainage device for sleep apnea patients
This trial tests if a nightly automated manual lymphatic drainage device called Neuroglide can improve how the brain clears waste (glymphatic function) in people with obstructive sleep apnea. You may qualify if you are 50 or older, have sleep apnea, and regularly use CPAP.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 50 years+ - NCT06801366Recruiting
Video clips to help diagnose sleep apnea in children
This study tests if video clips recorded at home can help diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in children, possibly reducing the need for an overnight hospital sleep test. It may be a good fit if your child is between 2 and 18 years old, has been referred for a sleep study, and you have a smartphone or tablet.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 2–18 - NCT06769607Recruiting
New auto-CPAP algorithm for sleep apnea
This study tests a new, smarter way for your CPAP machine to automatically adjust air pressure while you sleep. If you have a ResMed AirSense 10 or 11 and have been using it for a few months, you may be eligible.
Bella Vista, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06471751Recruiting
Breathing and throat muscle exercises for moderate sleep apnea
This trial tests whether strengthening your breathing and throat muscles can improve moderate sleep apnea. It aims to see if these exercises help reduce breathing pauses and improve sleep quality.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT06043440RecruitingPhase 2
Oxygen therapy for sleep apnea in Down syndrome
This study tests whether oxygen therapy can help children with Down syndrome who have sleep apnea. It compares oxygen treatment to no treatment to see if it improves breathing during sleep and thinking skills.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 5–18 - NCT06973928Recruiting
Does adenotonsillectomy improve mouth opening and quality of life?
This study looks at whether removing the tonsils and adenoids helps children with mild sleep apnea open their mouths wider and feel better overall.
Saint-Jean-de-VédasAges 3–7 - NCT03860233RecruitingPhase 1
Oxytocin added to CPAP for obstructive sleep apnea
This early study tests whether adding oxytocin to your usual CPAP treatment improves obstructive sleep apnea. It may help see if oxytocin changes how well CPAP works or how people feel while using it.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07743892Recruiting
Sleep apnea and body awareness study
This study looks at how people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) sense and understand their bodies, which may help improve treatment. If you have been diagnosed with OSA, you might be able to join.
KarabükAges 18–65 - NCT06462287RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a substance P blocker for high blood pressure and sleep apnea
This study tests if a drug that blocks substance P can lower a hormone called aldosterone in people with both severe sleep apnea and high blood pressure. If you have these conditions, this trial may help find a new treatment option.
Rouen, FranceAges 18–75 - NCT07447999Recruiting
Using AI to predict sleep apnea severity
This trial tests whether a special computer model can predict sleep apnea severity using a stethoscope and a fingertip oxygen sensor, instead of a full sleep test. It might help people get faster and easier sleep apnea diagnosis.
New Taipei CityAges 30–75 - NCT04399200Recruiting
Study apnea after stroke to prevent new heart events
This trial looks at sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) in people soon after a first stroke or a TIA, to see if it can be linked to new cardiovascular (heart/blood vessel) events. It also aims to make sure you can safely follow the study and rehabilitation plan.
GrenobleAges 18–85 - NCT07555119Recruiting
Home Sleep Testing: Night-to-Night Measurement Variability Study
This study measures how sleep breathing patterns vary from night to night using home sleep testing. It helps researchers understand if portable sleep tests give consistent and reliable results.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT04659291Recruiting
Studying people in Hong Kong who may have sleep apnea
This study looks at people who may have obstructive sleep apnea, a breathing problem during sleep. It aims to better understand the condition in Hong Kong and what to do next for diagnosis or care.
Hong Kong, Please SelectAges 18 years+ - NCT06283095Recruiting
Expanding the palate to help sleep apnea
This surgery expands the palate to treat obstructive sleep apnea caused by a narrow upper airway. It may help people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who have a specific type of airway collapse seen on a sleep-endoscopy test.
AsyutAges 18–70 - NCT06103630Recruiting
Mouth exercises for sleep apnea with mouthguard therapy
This study tests whether specific mouth and throat exercises can help people with sleep apnea who already use a mandibular advancement device (a type of mouthguard). The goal is to see if adding exercises improves sleep and breathing.
TainanAges 20 years+ - NCT07603583Recruiting
Heart Rate Variability to Detect Sleep Apnea in Hypertension
This study tests whether a simple heart-rate measurement can help detect obstructive sleep apnea (a breathing condition during sleep) in people with high blood pressure. The goal is to find an easier way to screen for sleep apnea, which often goes undiagnosed but can worsen heart health.
Kaohsiung City, KaohsiungAges 18–65 - NCT07464262Recruiting
Telemonitoring with CPAP for severe sleep apnea patients
This trial tests whether telemonitoring (checking in remotely) helps people with severe sleep apnea adjust to CPAP therapy. If you live in São Paulo and recently started CPAP, this study may help you get extra support.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–75 - NCT05237505RecruitingPhase 2
Sleep apnea plus COPD study to check heart and breathing effects
This Phase 2 study looks at the cardiovascular (heart/blood vessel) effects of having both sleep apnea and COPD. It may help doctors better understand who is at risk and how to manage these breathing problems together.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 40–79 - NCT04991389RecruitingPhase 4
Test a breathing study plan for kids with sleep apnea after surgery
This trial studies how to improve outcomes for children who still have obstructive sleep apnea after having their tonsils and adenoids removed. It uses computer modeling (based on breathing/airflow) and may include a special breathing gas during testing in some parts of the study.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3–18 - NCT04124848Recruiting
Sleep apnea study for Somali community adults
This study looks at obstructive sleep apnea—breathing pauses or poor breathing during sleep—in Somali community members. It aims to learn more about sleep apnea in this specific group, which can help guide better care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for apnea, obstructive?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 288 recruiting apnea, obstructive studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- 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.
