St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06263608Recruiting
Sleep apnea testing and treatment for atrial fibrillation patients
This study tests a new way to check and treat sleep apnea in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). If you have AF and symptoms, you may be able to join and get sleep tracking and treatment that could help both your heart and sleep.
EdegemAges 18 years+ - NCT07521319Recruiting
Wearable device guide for sleep apnea and insomnia
This study tests a wearable device that helps guide treatment for people who have both sleep apnea and insomnia. It may help improve your sleep quality and daytime symptoms.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 20–80 - NCT07120711Recruiting
Sleep apnea, thinking, and mood study for kids and adults
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects thinking and mood by checking certain proteins in the body. They want to see if these proteins can help predict or explain changes in memory, focus, or emotions.
ShanghaiAges 5 years+ - NCT07601724Recruiting
How fluid buildup affects sleep apnea in heart failure
This study looks at how excess fluid in the body affects sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) in people hospitalized with heart failure. Researchers will measure sleep apnea before and after treatment to reduce the fluid, which may help doctors better manage both conditions together.
JerusalemAges 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 - NCT06944782Recruiting
Can mouth muscle tests help diagnose sleep apnea?
This study tests a new device that measures muscle activity in your mouth to diagnose sleep apnea—without needing to spend the night in a lab. If you've already had a sleep test showing either no sleep apnea or moderate to severe sleep apnea, and you're not using CPAP daily, you may be able to help.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT05527652Recruiting
Breathing tube device to help blocked upper airways in children
This study tests a self-supporting breathing tube placed through the nose during sleep to reduce upper airway blockage and improve breathing in children. It may help children who have sleep apnea symptoms, especially after tonsil/adenoid treatment or when tonsil removal isn’t possible.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 3–21 - NCT07039500Recruiting
Severe sleep apnea's impact on hearing and thinking
This study looks at how severe sleep apnea affects your brain's ability to process sounds and think clearly. You will have hearing tests and an EEG, which is a safe brainwave recording, to see if treating sleep apnea can help your hearing and thinking.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 20–60 - NCT07785999Recruiting
Wearable ring sensor for diagnosing sleep apnea in adults
This study tests whether a wearable ring sensor can help diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops during sleep) compared to the standard in-lab sleep test. If you have suspected sleep apnea and are generally healthy, this study might help you get a simpler and more convenient diagnosis.
Pantai Valley, Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT07086612Recruiting
Sleep apnea and dental crossbite in children
This study looks at the link between sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) and a narrow upper jaw (crossbite) in children ages 6 to 16. It may help understand if treating the jaw can improve sleep breathing.
RouenAges 6–16 - NCT06850220Recruiting
How sleep apnea affects thinking and empathy in kids
This study looks at how obstructive sleep apnea caused by enlarged tonsils or adenoids might affect a child's thinking skills and ability to understand others. It will help doctors learn if treating the sleep problem could also help with these skills.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 3–12 - NCT06430957Recruiting
Sleep apnea risk after dental surgery under general anesthesia
This study checks dental patients for the risk of sleep apnea before surgery and looks at whether that risk is linked to problems after general anesthesia. It may help you understand your own risk and improve safety.
KayseriAges 18–80 - NCT06677580Recruiting
OSA digital network for early diagnosis and monitoring
This trial tests a digital tool to help diagnose and monitor obstructive sleep apnea earlier. It may help people with sleep apnea get better care.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06464757Recruiting
Laryngomalacia and breathing in children: before and after treatment study
This trial is for children with laryngomalacia (a floppy voice box) who have noisy breathing and trouble breathing. It will check how they are doing before and after treatment, and follow up for one year to see how their quality of life improves.
OsloAges 1 week–12 months - NCT07744854Recruiting
Monitoring breathing with sensors during sleep
This study tests two wearable sensors that track how hard you breathe while you sleep. It may help diagnose sleep and breathing problems without needing a hospital visit.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT06668597Recruiting
Sleep apnea education and motivation program
This trial tests an educational program to help people with sleep apnea start using CPAP at home. The program is designed to motivate and guide you through the process of adapting to CPAP therapy.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06862297Recruiting
Comparing a new jaw tracking device to standard sleep study for sleep apnea
This study compares a new device that tracks jaw movement during sleep to the standard sleep study (polysomnography) for diagnosing sleep apnea. You may be eligible if you have symptoms like loud snoring or daytime sleepiness and have been referred for a sleep study.
TaipeiAges 20–75 - NCT07124975Enrolling by invitation
Comparing CPAP use feedback to improve treatment
This trial tests if showing your CPAP usage alongside other users helps you use it more. You'll get monthly mail with your usage data, and possibly others' data, for six months.
Kyoto, KyotoAges 20 years+ - NCT06782737Enrolling by invitation
Mediterranean diet vs standard diet for sleep apnea
This study compares the Mediterranean diet to a standard diet to see which one improves heart and metabolic health in people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. You might benefit from learning if changing what you eat can help manage your condition.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 30–70 - NCT06664450Recruiting
Brain fog in sleep apnea
This study looks at brain fog (difficulty thinking or concentrating) in people with severe sleep apnea, both before and after starting CPAP therapy. It aims to understand how sleep apnea treatment affects brain function.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT05804084RecruitingPhase 2
Acetazolamide for sleep apnea: sleep and brain outcomes
This study tests acetazolamide (a medicine that changes breathing chemistry) to see how it affects sleep quality and neurocognitive (brain/memory/attention) outcomes in adults with untreated moderate to severe sleep apnea. You may be eligible if you have significant sleep apnea but do not have certain safety risks or need to start standard sleep apnea treatment right away.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05459935Recruiting
Light treatment for enlarged tonsils in children
This trial studies whether a light-based treatment (called photobiomodulation) can help children with very enlarged tonsils. It may improve breathing and sleep symptoms, and you’d have before-and-after checkups, including sleep testing.

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.
