Manual lymphatic drainage device for sleep apnea patients
This trial tests if a nightly automated manual lymphatic drainage device called Neuroglide can improve how the brain clears waste (glymphatic function) in people with obstructive sleep apnea. You may qualify if you are 50 or older, have sleep apnea, and regularly use CPAP.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 50 years+ - NCT07277608Recruiting
Study on sleep apnea patients and their health over time
This study looks at patients with suspected or confirmed obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) to understand the condition better. Researchers will follow patients for at least one year to learn more about the underlying causes and how it affects health.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06150352Recruiting
Sleep apnea and memory in older adults with mild concerns
This trial looks at how sleep apnea affects memory and brain health in people who have mild memory problems or are worried about their memory. You will have a sleep study and brain scans to see if treating sleep apnea could help protect your thinking skills.
Hong KongAges 50–80 - 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+ - NCT06875479Recruiting
Testing a sleep tracking mat for sleep apnea diagnosis
This study tests if a special sleep tracking mat can accurately diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) compared to the standard overnight sleep test. If you snore, feel sleepy during the day, or have poor sleep, joining could help improve diagnosis methods.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07195253Recruiting
Down syndrome and sleep apnea study in infants
This study looks at mouth and face features and sleep apnea in 6-month-old infants with Down syndrome. It may help doctors understand and treat sleep problems better.
BronAges 5 months–6 months - NCT06519149Recruiting
Device for sleep apnea without CPAP
This trial tests a device placed in your mouth during sleep to treat obstructive sleep apnea. It may be an option if you cannot or do not want to use a CPAP machine.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07191314Recruiting
Long-term study of a nasal airway for sleep apnea
This study is for people who already finished a previous study using a device called a nasopharyngeal airway (a small tube placed in the nose to help with breathing during sleep). It will check how well the device works over a longer time.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07169058Enrolling by invitation
Hands-on therapy for sleep apnea: a gentle technique
This study tests a gentle manual therapy applied to the neck to see if it can improve breathing and vital signs during sleep. It is for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who are not currently using a CPAP machine or other breathing devices.
Mardin, MardinAges 18–65 - NCT07149233Enrolling by invitation
Breathing muscle training for sleep apnea patients
This trial tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe can improve sleep for people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. It is for adults who are not currently receiving standard treatments like CPAP.
Recife, PernambucoAges 18–70 - NCT06089161Recruiting
Sleep Apnea Treatment and Alzheimer's Risk in Black Adults
This trial tests whether personalized sleep apnea treatment can help protect memory and thinking in Black older adults. If you have sleep apnea and are concerned about Alzheimer's, this study may help you and others like you.
Miami, FloridaAges 60–85 - NCT07132307Recruiting
Mouthpiece help after failed sleep apnea nerve stimulator
This study tests whether adding a special mouthpiece (mandibular advancement device) can help people whose sleep apnea wasn't fully treated by a nerve stimulator implant. You would use the mouthpiece at night and take home sleep tests to see if your breathing improves.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–70 - NCT07129967Recruiting
Mouth and face exercises for childhood sleep apnea
This study tests whether simple exercises for the mouth, tongue, and face can help children with mild sleep apnea breathe better during sleep. It's a non-surgical, drug-free approach that may be a good option for kids who haven't tried other treatments.
GhentAges 6–12 - NCT07121452Recruiting
Telehealth vs. standard care for sleep apnea in military families
This study compares a telehealth sleep-apnea program to standard care for people newly diagnosed with sleep apnea who are referred to private doctors in the TRICARE network. It aims to see if telehealth is just as effective and more convenient for military families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–64 - 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+ - NCT07120711Recruiting
Sleep apnea, thinking, and mood study for kids and adults

ShanghaiAges 5 years+ - NCT07113288Recruiting
Inspire implant for severe sleep apnea and higher weight
This study tests an implanted device (Inspire) that stimulates nerves to keep your airway open during sleep. It is for people with severe sleep apnea who cannot use or tolerate a CPAP machine, and who may have a higher body mass index.

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.
