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.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 6–12 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT06258837Recruiting
Personalized surgery for sleep apnea in children with small tonsils
This study tests a personalized surgical approach for children with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who have small tonsils. The goal is to see if tailored surgery improves their breathing during sleep and overall health.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 2–17 - NCT07044830Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether treating sleep apnea with a CPAP machine soon after a stroke can improve recovery. It is for people who had their first moderate-to-severe ischemic stroke and have not used CPAP before.
Ribeirão Preto, São PauloAges 18–80 - NCT05508971Recruiting
Personalized tonsil surgery for sleep apnea in children with Down syndrome
This study tests whether a personalized surgical approach can treat moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children with Down syndrome. The goal is to improve breathing during sleep and overall sleep health.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 2–17 - NCT07530302Recruiting
Better ways to adjust CPAP therapy when it isn't working well
This trial tests whether a wearable device called Sunrise can help doctors adjust your CPAP machine better than standard sleep tests. If your current CPAP isn't stopping all your breathing pauses, this study may help find the right adjustments for you.
GrenobleAges 18–85 - NCT04335994Recruiting
Home sleep testing for people with memory trouble
This study looks at how well home sleep apnea testing works for people with cognitive impairment (memory/thinking problems) to help improve outcomes. You may be asked to do a home sleep test (and possibly an in-lab test) and will involve a caregiver if needed.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT05539716Recruiting
Treating sleep apnea to study effects on metabolism
This study tests a sleep apnea treatment approach and looks at how it may affect your body’s metabolism. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with sleep apnea and meet health and medication rules, and possibly if you already use a PAP machine regularly.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT06319482Recruiting
Testing a new sleep apnea therapy device
This study tests a new proactive therapy for people recently diagnosed with moderate or severe sleep apnea. It aims to see how well patients stick with the treatment outside of a sleep lab.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18–70 - NCT06587256RecruitingPhase 2
Studying silicone mouth tape for snoring and mild sleep apnea
This trial tests if wearing silicone tape over your mouth at night can help reduce snoring and improve mild sleep apnea. You will use the tape and report how you and your partner feel about your snoring.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT06397365Recruiting
Hypnosis for better CPAP use
This trial tests if hypnosis sessions can help people with sleep-disordered breathing use their CPAP machine more consistently, especially if they are currently using it less than 3 hours a night.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT06330116Enrolling by invitation
Mouth and throat exercises for snoring and mild sleep apnea
This study tests different forms of oral myofunctional therapy (exercises for your mouth and throat) to find out which works best for reducing snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. It may help you breathe better and sleep more soundly.
Köge, Region SjællandAges 18–75 - NCT07730879Recruiting
Wall Squat Exercise for Blood Pressure in Sleep Apnea
This study tests whether a simple wall squat exercise can help lower blood pressure in people who have both high blood pressure and sleep apnea (treated with CPAP). If you are using CPAP regularly and are otherwise healthy enough to exercise, this trial may be a good fit for you.
BragaAges 18–80 - NCT07082608Recruiting
Weight loss procedure plus lifestyle changes for sleep apnea
This study tests whether a stomach procedure called endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) plus lifestyle changes helps people with sleep apnea lose more weight and improve their breathing compared to lifestyle changes alone. If you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and have struggled to lose weight, this may be an option.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18 years+ - NCT06614582Enrolling by invitation
Long-term nose tube study for children with weak muscle tone
This study looks at the long-term safety and effectiveness of a nose tube (nasopharyngeal airway) for children who have obstructive sleep apnea due to weak muscle tone. It's for children who already used this device in a previous study.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 3–23 - NCT02630121RecruitingPhase 4
Nasal spray treatment to reduce mild sleep apnea congestion
This study tests whether using oxymetazoline with fluticasone nasal spray can improve mild obstructive sleep apnea by lowering nasal congestion. If your nose stays blocked most days despite current spray use, this may help your breathing during sleep.
