Recruiting studies
- NCT06783998Enrolling by invitation

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 - NCT06693817Recruiting

Londrina, ParanáAges 8 months–10 months - NCT06382883Recruiting
Lifestyle and activity for sleep apnea
This study tests a lifestyle and physical activity program as a treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It is for people who have not tried CPAP and want to see if exercise and healthy habits can help.
JyväskyläAges 18–70 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - NCT06312956Recruiting
Sleep Apnea and Ventilotherapy: A Study Before and After Treatment
This trial studies how sleep apnea affects the body and brain before and after starting treatment with a breathing device (ventilotherapy). It aims to understand the benefits of early treatment for people with obstructive sleep apnea.
Piancavallo, VCOAges 20–60 - NCT06471751Recruiting
Breathing and throat muscle exercises for moderate sleep apnea
This trial tests whether strengthening your breathing and throat muscles can improve moderate sleep apnea. It aims to see if these exercises help reduce breathing pauses and improve sleep quality.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT06462287RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a substance P blocker for high blood pressure and sleep apnea
This study tests if a drug that blocks substance P can lower a hormone called aldosterone in people with both severe sleep apnea and high blood pressure. If you have these conditions, this trial may help find a new treatment option.
Rouen, FranceAges 18–75 - NCT06434558Enrolling by invitation
MRI predictors of cryolysis for sleep apnea
This study uses MRI scans to see how well a cold treatment (cryolysis) works for obstructive sleep apnea. It is only open to people already in the ARCTIC-3 trial at the University of Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - 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 - NCT06089603RecruitingPhase 4
CPAP for Sleep Apnea with High Red Blood Cells
This study tests whether CPAP therapy (a machine that helps keep your airway open while you sleep) can lower high red blood cell counts in people who have both sleep apnea and polycythemia. It may help reduce the need for other treatments.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–80 - NCT06330116Enrolling by invitation
Mouth and throat exercises for snoring and mild sleep apnea
This study tests different forms of oral myofunctional therapy (exercises for your mouth and throat) to find out which works best for reducing snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. It may help you breathe better and sleep more soundly.
Köge, Region SjællandAges 18–75 - NCT06317701Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for sleep apnea in overweight adults
This trial tests a nerve stimulation treatment for obstructive sleep apnea in people who are overweight and cannot tolerate CPAP. It focuses on how the treatment affects metabolism and weight.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06263608Recruiting
Sleep apnea testing and treatment for atrial fibrillation patients
This study tests a new way to check and treat sleep apnea in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). If you have AF and symptoms, you may be able to join and get sleep tracking and treatment that could help both your heart and sleep.
EdegemAges 18 years+ - NCT06258837Recruiting
Personalized surgery for sleep apnea in children with small tonsils
This study tests a personalized surgical approach for children with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who have small tonsils. The goal is to see if tailored surgery improves their breathing during sleep and overall health.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 2–17 - NCT06189755Recruiting
MicroRNA markers for sleep apnea
This trial is studying tiny molecules in the blood (called microRNAs) to see if they can help diagnose or monitor obstructive sleep apnea. It compares people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who are starting PAP therapy with people who do not have sleep apnea.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT06117579Recruiting
Breathing Muscle Training for Sleep Apnea
This trial tests whether a simple breathing exercise (training the muscles you use to breathe in) can improve sleep apnea symptoms in people who already use CPAP. The goal is to see if adding this training helps you feel better or need less CPAP pressure.

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.
