Recruiting studies
- NCT06801366Recruiting
Video clips to help diagnose sleep apnea in children
This study tests if video clips recorded at home can help diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in children, possibly reducing the need for an overnight hospital sleep test. It may be a good fit if your child is between 2 and 18 years old, has been referred for a sleep study, and you have a smartphone or tablet.

Heart rate changes during sleep in severe sleep apnea
This study looks at how your heart rate changes during sleep in people with severe sleep apnea compared to healthy people. It uses a simple overnight recording to measure your nervous system activity.
LilleAges 18–64 - NCT06834724Recruiting
CPAP for sleep apnea and chronic pain
This study looks at whether CPAP treatment improves pain and daily life in people who have both sleep apnea and chronic pain. It tests if starting CPAP for the first time can help these symptoms.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06848647Recruiting
Treating sleep apnea to improve metabolism
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea with CPAP improves your body's metabolism (how your body uses energy). It's for people who have sleep apnea and are about to start CPAP therapy.
Uppsala, Uppsala CountyAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06862297Recruiting
Comparing a new jaw tracking device to standard sleep study for sleep apnea
This study compares a new device that tracks jaw movement during sleep to the standard sleep study (polysomnography) for diagnosing sleep apnea. You may be eligible if you have symptoms like loud snoring or daytime sleepiness and have been referred for a sleep study.
TaipeiAges 20–75 - NCT06872242Recruiting
Italian study on obstructive sleep apnea types
This trial is studying different types of obstructive sleep apnea in Italian adults. It aims to understand more about the condition and may help find better treatments.
AcriAges 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 - NCT06915831Recruiting
Type 1 diabetes and sleep apnea study
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects blood sugar control in adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand if treating sleep apnea improves diabetes management.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–50 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT06971796Recruiting
EURO-STIM Registry for Inspire implant users
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 - NCT06974851RecruitingPhase 3
Study of HRS9531 for sleep apnea and obesity
This trial tests an injectable medication (HRS9531) to see if it helps people with both obstructive sleep apnea and obesity. It compares the drug to a placebo (no active medicine) to check safety and effectiveness.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06994247Recruiting
Boosting CPAP use in severe sleep apnea
This study tests whether motivation and psychological support can help people with severe sleep apnea use their CPAP machine more consistently over three months.
Split, DalmatiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07039500Recruiting
Severe sleep apnea's impact on hearing and thinking
This study looks at how severe sleep apnea affects your brain's ability to process sounds and think clearly. You will have hearing tests and an EEG, which is a safe brainwave recording, to see if treating sleep apnea can help your hearing and thinking.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 20–60 - NCT07044830Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether treating sleep apnea with a CPAP machine soon after a stroke can improve recovery. It is for people who had their first moderate-to-severe ischemic stroke and have not used CPAP before.
Ribeirão Preto, São PauloAges 18–80 - NCT07074288Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatments for people who can't use CPAP
This study is comparing two alternative treatments for moderate to severe sleep apnea in people who cannot or will not use a CPAP machine. The treatments are a custom-fitted dental device and a nerve stimulation implant, and the study will see how well they work.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07082608Recruiting
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.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18 years+ - NCT07086612Recruiting
Sleep apnea and dental crossbite in children
This study looks at the link between sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) and a narrow upper jaw (crossbite) in children ages 6 to 16. It may help understand if treating the jaw can improve sleep breathing.

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.
