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.

This study gathers information from people who have or will receive an Inspire implant for sleep apnea. By joining, you help doctors learn how well the therapy works over time.
KlagenfurtAges 18 years+ - NCT06971874Recruiting
Sleep apnea and kidney disease: A study on outcomes
This trial looks at how obstructive sleep apnea affects people with chronic kidney disease (stages 3-4). It aims to help understand the connection between these conditions and guide better care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06960200RecruitingPhase 2
Phototherapy for sleep apnea when a mouthpiece didn't work
This study tests a light-based treatment (phototherapy) for people with sleep apnea who tried an oral mouthpiece but still have symptoms. The goal is to see if this therapy can offer relief when other options haven't worked fully.
EdmontonAges 18 years+ - NCT05739617Recruiting
Breathing and sleep training for people with sleep apnea
This trial tests a comprehensive breathing and respiratory exercise program for newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help by improving sleep breathing and reducing apnea-related symptoms. You may be eligible if you recently learned you have OSA and meet age and health criteria.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 20–65 - NCT06926036Recruiting
Sound therapy for sleep apnea
This study aims to test whether a special sound technique can help people with sleep apnea sleep better. It may offer a new way to manage the condition without needing a CPAP machine.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–60 - NCT06930404Recruiting
New ways to diagnose sleep apnea
This study tests new ways to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea. If you haven't been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06931028RecruitingPhase 3
Study of IBI362 for sleep apnea with obesity
This study tests an investigational medication (IBI362) to see if it can improve sleep apnea in people with obesity. You might qualify if you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and a BMI of 28 or higher, whether or not you currently use a CPAP machine.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06915831Recruiting

Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06852053Recruiting
New tool to predict breathing pauses in premature babies
This study is testing a new tool that may help predict when babies born very early might have breathing pauses or slow heart rates. By using this tool, doctors hope to better monitor and care for your baby.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 5 months–7 months - NCT06850220Recruiting
How sleep apnea affects thinking and empathy in kids
This study looks at how obstructive sleep apnea caused by enlarged tonsils or adenoids might affect a child's thinking skills and ability to understand others. It will help doctors learn if treating the sleep problem could also help with these skills.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 3–12 - NCT06720545Recruiting

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.
