Recruiting studies
- NCT04005508Recruiting
Study sleep apnea and heart outcomes in high-risk atrial fibrillation
This trial looks at how obstructive sleep apnea (OSA, a breathing problem during sleep) relates to heart outcomes in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). It may help doctors better predict risk and choose safer care for people who are high cardiovascular risk.

Testing a new breathing mask for sleep apnea
This study tests a new style of breathing mask (called the F&P Licorice Mask) for people who already use CPAP or similar therapy for sleep apnea. You'll use the mask at home and give feedback on how it feels and works, which could help make future masks more comfortable.

Effects of mental tasks on breathing in chronic opioid users
This study looks at how doing mental tasks affects breathing in people who take opioids daily for chronic pain, compared to those with sleep apnea and healthy people. It may help understand how opioids affect breathing and improve safety.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 45–65 - NCT05197738Recruiting
Study using a sleep health app to improve sleep
This study tests a “sleep health” app (REFRESH) to see how it may help people track and improve sleep. You may be eligible if you’re an adult in the U.S. who can use the app on your own phone.

Monthly study medicine for adults with sleep apnea and overweight who use a breathing machine
This study tests an investigational medicine taken once a month for adults with moderate to severe sleep apnea who are overweight or have obesity and use a CPAP or similar breathing machine. It aims to see if the medicine improves sleep-related breathing.
Cullman, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06115018Recruiting

GrenobleAges 18–75 - NCT07736872Recruiting
Sleep apnea screening in diverse groups
This study is screening people from different backgrounds for obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep). It uses a sleep test and questionnaires to see if you might have it.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT05978505RecruitingPhase 2
Reboxetine for sleep apnea after ENT surgery
This study tests if the medication reboxetine helps reduce sleep apnea symptoms after planned upper airway surgery. It may be a good fit if you have sleep apnea and are having surgery on your nose or throat.
Bedford Park, South AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07724938Recruiting
Combination tonsil removal and nerve implant for sleep apnea
This study tests if removing the tonsils together with implanting a nerve stimulator (Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation) can better treat sleep apnea in people whose throat sides collapse during sleep.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07732257Recruiting
Wireless button sensor study for premature infants
This study tests a small, wireless button-like sensor to monitor vital signs in premature infants in the NICU. It may offer a gentler way to track your baby's health.
Montreal, QuebecAges Any age - NCT06711159Recruiting
Searching for a biomarker of sleepiness in severe sleep apnea
This study looks for a biological marker of severe daytime sleepiness in people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who haven't started breathing machine treatment yet. It may help doctors better understand and treat sleepiness in the future.
Koege, Regional ZealandAges 18 years+ - NCT05986487Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment for better blood pressure control
This trial tests whether treating sleep-disordered breathing (like sleep apnea) can help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. You may join if you have high blood pressure and haven't been diagnosed with a sleep disorder before.
LleidaAges 18 years+ - NCT03929549Recruiting
Testing a tool to predict jaw surgery failure for sleep apnea
This trial studies a way to predict which people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may not do well after maxillomandibular advancement surgery (jaw advancement). It could help doctors choose the right treatment and avoid ineffective surgery.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 30–65 - NCT07579871Recruiting
Sleep patterns and recovery after first stroke
This study looks at how sleep affects recovery in people who have had their first ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot). Researchers want to understand whether sleep quality influences how well patients regain function after stroke.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07581938Recruiting
Early Dental Screening for Sleep Problems in Kids
This study uses a smartphone app and a wearable device to check for early signs of sleep-disordered breathing—a condition where breathing stops briefly during sleep—in children ages 8–13. The goal is to catch dental and jaw problems that might lead to sleep issues before they become serious.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 8–13 - NCT04007380Recruiting
Sleep problems after spinal cord injury study
This study looks at how sleep-disordered breathing (breathing problems during sleep) affects mood, thinking, and behavior after a spinal cord injury. It may help researchers understand the impact of these sleep breathing issues and guide better support for people after injury.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07570121RecruitingPhase 1
How Caffeine Moves Through Pregnancy and to the Baby
This study looks at how caffeine is absorbed and transferred to a baby during pregnancy in women at risk of early delivery. Researchers hope to understand safe caffeine use in this situation and potentially help prevent complications.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07552025Recruiting
Sound monitoring to detect breathing problems in very premature babies
This study uses special microphones to listen to and record breathing sounds in extremely premature infants (born before 29 weeks). The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect breathing problems early so babies can get help faster.
Montreal, QuebecAges Up to 7 months - NCT07493629Recruiting
Study on immune status and disease control in inflammatory airway diseases
This study looks at how the immune system works and how well diseases like asthma, COPD, and others are controlled. You may join if you have one of these conditions or if you are a healthy volunteer or smoker without lung disease.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07466888Recruiting
Adjusting electrical stimulation frequency for tongue muscle activity
This trial tests how changing the frequency of gentle electrical pulses to a tongue muscle affects its activity. It may help people with sleep apnea by strengthening the muscle that keeps the airway open during sleep.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for apnea?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 353 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.
