Recruiting studies
- 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.
Colorado Springs, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT07120711Recruiting
Sleep apnea, thinking, and mood study for kids and adults
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects thinking and mood by checking certain proteins in the body. They want to see if these proteins can help predict or explain changes in memory, focus, or emotions.
ShanghaiAges 5 years+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - NCT07301710RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Low-tech treatments for sleep apnea
This study tests simple, low-tech treatments (like exercises) for sleep apnea. It's for people who are newly diagnosed or whose current treatment isn't working, and who are willing to pause their usual treatment for 3 months.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT07303452Recruiting
New device for sleep apnea in adults
This trial tests a new device called Restera™ Serene™ for people with obstructive sleep apnea who cannot use or do not want a CPAP mask. It may offer an alternative treatment option.
PerthAges 18 years+ - NCT07307560Recruiting
High-flow oxygen during sedation for sleep apnea patients having endoscopy
This study tests if high-flow nasal oxygen can prevent oxygen drops during sedated endoscopy in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea. It may help people who are at higher risk of breathing problems during the procedure.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07324941Recruiting
EEG and caffeine timing in premature infants
This study uses EEG brain scans to find the best time to stop caffeine treatment in premature babies. Caffeine is given to help with breathing, and the goal is to see if brain activity can guide when to safely stop it.
BursaAges Up to 1 month - NCT02922894RecruitingPhase 4
Testing sleep apnea care in people with spinal cord injury
This study looks at treatment for sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) in adults with a spinal cord injury. If you qualify, the trial team may help manage sleep-related breathing problems and track how well the treatment works.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–89 - NCT00695214RecruitingPhase 2
Test with medicine-assisted sleep endoscopy for sleep apnea
This trial studies how well a procedure done while you sleep helps doctors understand the blockage causing obstructive sleep apnea and plan surgery. You may be helped if you’re an adult with sleep apnea who is considering surgical treatment.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07357272Recruiting
Blood pressure benefits in sleep apnea patients after CPAP
This trial studies whether CPAP treatment can improve blood pressure in people with obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to find out who benefits most from CPAP in terms of blood pressure control.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07364318Recruiting
Thinking and memory in sleep apnea
This study looks at how thinking and memory are affected in people with newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops briefly during sleep). It aims to understand the impact of sleep apnea on brain function.
BratislavaAges 18–65 - NCT07376343Recruiting
Comparing CPAP pressure formulas vs lab titration for sleep apnea
This study compares two ways to set CPAP machine pressure for Thai people with obstructive sleep apnea: using a quick formula versus a full overnight lab test. It helps find the best pressure more easily.
Pathum ThaniAges 18 years+ - NCT07387094RecruitingPhase 3
A study of XW003 for obesity with sleep apnea (no CPAP)
This trial tests an investigational weekly injection called XW003 for weight loss in people who have obesity and moderate-to-severe sleep apnea but do not use a CPAP machine. It aims to see if the drug can help with weight loss and improve sleep apnea without the need for a breathing machine.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT02057783Recruiting
Exercise program to lower blood pressure in sleep apnea
This trial tests whether a supervised physical activity program can help lower blood pressure in people with obstructive sleep apnea and resistant high blood pressure. It may help you control blood pressure when it has not improved despite multiple medications.
QuébecAges 18–80 - NCT02410850Recruiting
Test how well long-term mouth devices work for sleep apnea
This trial looks at how effective an oral (mouth) appliance is over the long term for people with obstructive sleep apnea. If you already use a mouth device, this study may help doctors understand whether it continues to work well over time.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18–90 - NCT02784977Recruiting
Sleep apnea study using a national sleep database
This study collects information from adults who are getting a sleep test because obstructive sleep apnea is suspected. It helps researchers better understand sleep apnea and who develops it, without giving a new treatment.
IstanbulAges 18–80 - NCT02703220RecruitingPhase 4
Finasteride test for mild to moderate sleep apnea in seniors
This study looks at whether finasteride (a prescription medicine) can help older adults with mild to moderate sleep apnea. You may be screened with a sleep test to confirm your breathing pattern during sleep.
Detroit, MichiganAges 60–89 - NCT02703207Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for apnea?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 366 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.
