Recruiting studies
- NCT02784977Recruiting
Sleep apnea study using a national sleep database
This study collects information from adults who are getting a sleep test because obstructive sleep apnea is suspected. It helps researchers better understand sleep apnea and who develops it, without giving a new treatment.
IstanbulAges 18–80 - NCT05735444Recruiting
CPAP registry for sleep apnea in people with high blood pressure
This study keeps a record of people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who also have high blood pressure, to better understand how CPAP is used and what outcomes happen. It may help your care team by contributing your information to a large multi-center study in China.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06047496RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Time-restricted eating for sleep apnea
This study tests whether limiting your eating to a shorter daily window can improve health in people with untreated moderate to severe sleep apnea. You would eat all your meals within a set number of hours each day while tracking your progress on your smartphone.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - 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+ - NCT06367400Recruiting
Validating a Sleep Questionnaire for Swedish Children
This study tests a sleep questionnaire designed to help diagnose sleep-related breathing problems in children. It aims to see if the questionnaire works well for Swedish children, making it easier for doctors to spot these issues early.
UppsalaAges 1.5 years–15 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 - NCT03621566Recruiting
Sleep apnea registry for adults with non-obstructive events
This study builds a registry to learn more about sleep apnea patterns, especially cases where most breathing events are not caused by blocked airway tissue. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with a specific sleep test result.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06463561RecruitingPhase 4
CPAP for high cholesterol and sleep apnea
This study tests if CPAP therapy can improve cholesterol and uric acid levels in people with both high cholesterol and moderate to severe sleep apnea. It may help if you have sleep apnea and are looking for additional ways to manage your lipid levels.
Coslada, MadridAges 35–80 - NCT07792746Recruiting
Sleep apnea markers and use of CPAP therapy
This study looks at whether certain markers in sleep apnea patients can predict how well they will stick with CPAP (a mask that helps you breathe at night). If you're newly diagnosed and about to start CPAP, this could help personalize your care.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT07789834Recruiting
Oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea study
This study looks at how well an oral appliance (a mouthguard) works for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It uses a questionnaire to track your progress and makes sure the treatment is helping you sleep better.
Henderson, NevadaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT06608888Recruiting
Brain chemical study for sleep apnea and snoring
This study looks at how a brain chemical called 5-HT7 affects sleep apnea by testing different groups: people with sleep apnea, people who snore, and healthy volunteers. It aims to find new ways to help regulate breathing during sleep.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 20–60 - NCT07740213Enrolling by invitation
Sleep apnea study at Sohag University hospitals
This study looks at people who have obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops briefly during sleep). It may help doctors understand this condition better and improve care for patients.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - NCT06634264Recruiting
Comparing two therapies for children with sleep apnea after surgery
This study compares two different exercises (called oral reeducation) to see which works better for children who still have breathing problems during sleep even after getting their tonsils or adenoids removed. It helps kids breathe easier at night.
Montreal, QuebecAges 4–14 - NCT07704320Recruiting
Testing the BreathAlert device for apnea monitoring
This trial tests a device called BreathAlert that monitors breathing and detects when a patient stops breathing (apnea). It aims to help doctors and nurses keep a closer watch on patients who are at risk.
BlantyreAges birth–17 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+ - 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+ - NCT06681974RecruitingPhase 3
Throat therapy for sleep apnea without CPAP
This trial tests a type of mouth and throat therapy to see if it can help people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who can't or don't want to use a CPAP machine. It might be an option if you want a non-machine treatment for your sleep apnea.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for apnea?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 353 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.
