Recruiting studies
- NCT06507228Recruiting
Simplified sleep apnea testing study
This trial is testing a new, automated way to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep). If you have been referred from your primary care doctor for sleep apnea testing, you may be able to join.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06508190Recruiting
Walking exercise for sleep apnea and fatty liver
This trial tests whether a simple walking program can help people who have both obstructive sleep apnea and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. If you have these conditions and a BMI under 35, you may be able to join a free exercise program to see if it improves your health.
GizaAges 40–65 - NCT06512779Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment clustering study
This study looks at sleep recordings to group people with obstructive sleep apnea based on their unique signals. The goal is to match each person to the best treatment for them.
TainanAges 20 years+ - NCT06514482Recruiting
Spanish sleep apnea and daytime sleepiness registry
This study will collect information from people with suspected sleep apnea who feel very sleepy during the day. If you are 18 or older and about to have a sleep study, you may be able to help researchers learn more about this condition.
Logroño, La RiojaAges 18 years+ - NCT06518603RecruitingPhase 4
Caffeine for preventing apnea in preterm babies in Zambia
This trial tests whether giving caffeine citrate can help prevent breathing pauses (apnea) in preterm babies who are ready to stop their current caffeine treatment. It aims to see if a short course of caffeine can keep babies stable after they come off oxygen and are eating well.
Lusaka, Lusaka ProvinceAges birth–1 year - 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+ - NCT06521476RecruitingPhase 2
Acetazolamide for sleep apnea in people on opioid treatment
This trial tests if a drug called acetazolamide can help people with central sleep apnea who are also on medication for opioid use disorder. Sleep apnea causes breathing to stop during sleep, and this study aims to see if the drug improves their sleep breathing.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–100 - NCT06522815Recruiting
Updating AI for sleep apnea monitoring
This study tests an updated computer program (AI) that uses a wearable device to monitor sleep apnea. If you are 19 or older and already scheduled for a sleep study, you may be able to help improve how this technology detects breathing pauses during sleep.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06568159Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment in heart patients
This study looks at how well people with heart disease or high heart risk follow their sleep apnea treatment, comparing a mouth device (MAD) to a CPAP machine. It aims to find which treatment works better for daily use.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06578390Recruiting
Testing a smartphone app for sleep apnea diagnosis
This trial tests whether a smartphone app (Apneal®) can accurately diagnose sleep apnea during a routine sleep study. If you are already going to have a sleep study, you may be able to help test this device.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT06587256RecruitingPhase 2
Studying silicone mouth tape for snoring and mild sleep apnea
This trial tests if wearing silicone tape over your mouth at night can help reduce snoring and improve mild sleep apnea. You will use the tape and report how you and your partner feel about your snoring.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - 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 - 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 - NCT06659887Recruiting
Testing breathing rates in children during surgery
This study looks at how different slow breathing rates (low flow rates) affect oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in children who are under general anesthesia and not breathing on their own. It may help doctors choose the best settings for safe surgery.
Al Fayyum, Faiyum GovernorateAges 1–6 - NCT06664450Recruiting
Brain fog in sleep apnea
This study looks at brain fog (difficulty thinking or concentrating) in people with severe sleep apnea, both before and after starting CPAP therapy. It aims to understand how sleep apnea treatment affects brain function.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06668597Recruiting
Sleep apnea education and motivation program
This trial tests an educational program to help people with sleep apnea start using CPAP at home. The program is designed to motivate and guide you through the process of adapting to CPAP therapy.
Milan, MilanAges 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.
SantanderAges 18–70 - NCT06693817Recruiting
Wireless sensors for newborns in the delivery room
This trial tests advanced wireless sensors to monitor babies born at 35 weeks or later who are stable at delivery. The goal is to see if these sensors can improve care right after birth.
Londrina, ParanáAges 8 months–10 months - NCT06698809Recruiting
Treating leftover sleepiness in sleep apnea patients
This study tests if a light therapy device can help reduce daytime sleepiness in people who are already using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea but still feel tired. It involves MRI scans and regular check-ins over two years.
New York, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT06715228Recruiting
Breathing exercise for sleep apnea
This trial tests a special breathing exercise program (called Shitali) to see if it helps people with mild or moderate sleep apnea who are not obese. If you qualify, you'll learn a gentle therapy that may improve your sleep without machines or medicine.
Dokki, Giza GovernorateAges 35–55 - NCT06720545Recruiting
Short break from nerve stimulation therapy and heart health
This study looks at what happens to your heart health and metabolism when you stop using a nerve stimulator for sleep apnea for a short time. It may help understand the risks and benefits of taking a break from this therapy.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06748703Recruiting
Optic nerve injury in obstructive sleep apnea patients
This study looks at whether sleep apnea affects the optic nerve, which connects your eye to your brain. It is for people newly diagnosed with sleep apnea who have not yet received treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for apnea?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 367 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.
