Recruiting studies
- NCT06792188Recruiting
Using a smartwatch to predict sleep apnea
This trial tests if a smartwatch can help predict sleep apnea in people who have symptoms like snoring or daytime sleepiness. It may offer a simpler way to identify the condition.
SeoulAges 22–85 - NCT07086599Recruiting
Sleep problems in psoriatic arthritis and SAPHO syndrome
This study looks at sleep problems in people with psoriatic arthritis or SAPHO syndrome. Participants will stay in the hospital for special sleep tests to understand their sleep issues better.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07062770Recruiting
Testing air rebreathing during CPAP use
This study checks how much air rebreathing (breathing in some of your own exhaled air) happens when you use a CPAP machine. It might help improve CPAP therapy for people with sleep apnea.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–70 - NCT07047092RecruitingPhase 3
CPAP vs. NIV for sleep apnea in COPD after breathing failure
This trial compares two breathing devices (CPAP and NIV) for people with both COPD and sleep apnea who recently needed breathing help in the hospital. The goal is to see which device works better at preventing future breathing emergencies.
ParisAges 18–84 - NCT06239883Recruiting
Sleep apnea and nighttime bathroom trips study
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects nighttime bathroom trips (nocturia). If you have sleep apnea and wake up often to urinate, you may be able to help researchers understand the link.
Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07035314Recruiting
Comparing medicines for pain after tonsil removal in children
This study compares two ways to manage pain after tonsil removal in children: a medication given by mouth or injection versus a medication applied directly to the surgical site. The goal is to find which approach works better for pain control.
CairoAges 4–10 - NCT07003399Recruiting
Breathing Muscle Function in Sleep Apnea and COPD
This study looks at how the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) and the drive to breathe work in people with sleep apnea, COPD, or both. Researchers want to compare these groups with healthy volunteers to better understand breathing problems.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07009535Enrolling by invitation
Sleep apnea risk and orthodontic issues in children
This study looks at how narrow upper jaws (maxillary constriction) relate to sleep apnea in children with mixed teeth. It aims to understand if dental problems affect breathing during sleep and guide future treatments.
Pavia, LombardyAges 6–12 - NCT06994650RecruitingPhase 3
Study of HRS9531 for sleep apnea and obesity
This trial tests an injection called HRS9531 to see if it helps people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity who already use a CPAP or similar breathing device. It may help by reducing weight and improving breathing during sleep.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06983769Recruiting
CPAP vs Mouthpiece for Sleep Apnea in Patients with Memory Issues
This study compares two treatments for sleep apnea (CPAP and a custom mouthpiece) to see which is better for patients who also have mild memory or thinking problems. Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep. You may qualify if you have moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and mild cognitive impairment.
Kent Ridge, Please SelectAges 45 years+ - NCT06970171Enrolling by invitation
Willingness to use a sleep apnea mouthpiece
This trial tests how well people accept a mouthpiece (mandibular advancement device) to treat obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where your breathing stops and starts during sleep). If you have sleep apnea and can wear a device that moves your lower jaw forward while you sleep, you may be able to join.
Greifswald, Mecklenburg-VorpommernAges 18–75 - NCT06960161RecruitingPhase 1
Light therapy to help with CPAP use
This trial tests if light therapy can help people who are having trouble tolerating their CPAP machine or who still snore while using it.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06928766RecruitingPhase 2
Sleep aids for people with sleep apnea and insomnia
This trial tests two sleep medications, eszopiclone and lemborexant, to see if they can improve sleep quality in people who have both obstructive sleep apnea (where breathing stops during sleep) and trouble falling or staying asleep. It may help if you have mild sleep apnea and a low threshold for waking up easily.
Bedford Park, South AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06910930Recruiting
Muscle training device for mild to moderate sleep apnea
This study tests a device that trains your mouth and throat muscles to see if it can improve mild to moderate sleep apnea. It may be an option if you are looking for a non-CPAP treatment.
Pathum ThaniAges 18 years+ - NCT06896448Recruiting
Sleep apnea screening for head and neck cancer patients
This study tests a smartphone app (Apneal) to screen for sleep apnea in people who are being checked for head and neck cancer. It aims to find sleep problems early so they can be treated.
Caen, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06872593Recruiting
Driving simulator test for sleepiness in sleep apnea
This study tests a new driving simulator test (like a video game) to measure daytime sleepiness, compared to the standard sleepiness test. It looks at people with sleep apnea who temporarily stop using their CPAP machine, to see if the new test is accurate.
Zurich, ZRHAges 18 years+ - NCT06861686Recruiting
New classification for obstructive sleep apnea
This study is improving how doctors classify obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where your breathing stops and starts during sleep). It focuses on sleepiness and heart-related risks to help guide treatment. If you are 40 or older and have untreated OSA, you may be able to join.
Antwerp, AntwerpAges 40 years+ - NCT06849596Recruiting
Breathing help for extremely premature babies at birth
This study compares two ways to help extremely premature babies breathe right after birth: using a manual T-piece or a ventilator. The goal is to find which method is safer and more effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6 months–7 months - NCT06828835Recruiting
Sleep study for caregivers of children with breathing problems
This study helps parents of children with sleep-related breathing problems (like snoring or pauses in breathing) who have been referred to a specialist. It offers support and guidance over 12 months to make it easier to get the care your child needs.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 2–12 - NCT06789770Recruiting
Nasal vs mouth breathing during drug-induced sleep
This study compares how breathing through the nose versus mouth affects sleep, using both natural and medication-induced sleep. It may help people with sleep apnea understand their breathing patterns better.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06786117Enrolling by invitation
Swallowing therapy study for sleep apnea patients
This study tests whether daily swallowing exercises can help people with sleep apnea who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy. It compares three groups: healthy people, successful CPAP users, and those who have difficulty using CPAP.
Cleveland, OhioAges 40–70 - NCT06762873RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a nerve therapy for Latin Americans with sleep apnea
This trial tests a new nerve-stimulation therapy called Neuromod to treat moderate-to-severe sleep apnea in people who do not have access to other treatments. If you qualify, you would be part of a study to see if this implant helps improve your breathing during sleep.
AsunciónAges 18 years+ - NCT06763549Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for apnea?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 351 recruiting apnea 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 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 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.
