Tainan, TaiwanAges 20–65 - 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 - 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 - NCT07225686RecruitingPhase 3
Maridebart Cafraglutide for sleep apnea in adults on CPAP
This study is testing whether a new medicine, called Maridebart Cafraglutide, can help people with obstructive sleep apnea who are already using a CPAP machine. The medicine may help with weight loss and potentially improve sleep apnea. Participants will either receive the medicine or a placebo (an inactive substance), and the study lasts for several months.
Northridge, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07301125Enrolling by invitation
Tongue and mouth exercises for sleep apnea
This study tests if doing specific tongue and mouth exercises can help people with obstructive sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea and are willing to pause other treatments for 3 months, you may be able to join.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–65 - NCT07049744Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for adults with obstructive sleep apnea
This trial tests a device that stimulates a nerve to keep your airway open during sleep. It might help if you have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea and cannot use a CPAP mask.
Canberra, Australian Capital TerritoryAges 21 years+ - 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 - NCT06576310Recruiting
Predicting teeth changes from sleep apnea mouthpiece treatment
This study looks at people with sleep apnea who are using a special mouthpiece (mandibular advancement device). It aims to find out which factors predict changes in how your teeth fit together after using the device.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT03109171Recruiting
Test accuracy using a scope-based feeling test for sleep apnea
This study checks how accurately a special camera/scope test can measure throat sensation in people being evaluated for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). If the test works well, it may help improve how clinicians understand and assess OSA-related changes.
Bogotá, Bogota D.C.Ages 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT03736382Recruiting
Study how mild low-oxygen affects sleep apnea and blood pressure
This trial studies whether mild, controlled low oxygen during sleep can change sleep apnea symptoms and related blood pressure issues. It mainly looks at people with newly diagnosed, untreated sleep apnea and early high blood pressure.
