This study measures how sleep breathing patterns vary from night to night using home sleep testing. It helps researchers understand if portable sleep tests give consistent and reliable results.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT07635563RecruitingPhase 2
Sleep Apnea Treatment with Dronabinol and Acetazolamide
This study tests a combination medication (dronabinol and acetazolamide) to treat obstructive sleep apnea in people who cannot tolerate or use CPAP machines. The goal is to find the right dose that safely reduces breathing interruptions during sleep.
Chula Vista, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT07723144Recruiting
Identifying sleep apnea biomarkers
This study compares blood samples from people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and those without sleep apnea to find markers that could help diagnose or treat the condition. Half of those with sleep apnea will start CPAP therapy right away, while others wait before starting.
Bialystok, Podlaskie VoivodeshipAges 18–65 - NCT07714330Recruiting
Using sound cues to treat positional sleep apnea
This study tests a device that plays sound cues to help you stay off your back while sleeping, which may reduce sleep apnea events. It's for people whose sleep apnea is worse when sleeping on their back.
Burlingame, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT03109171Recruiting
Test accuracy using a scope-based feeling test for sleep apnea
This study checks how accurately a special camera/scope test can measure throat sensation in people being evaluated for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). If the test works well, it may help improve how clinicians understand and assess OSA-related changes.
Bogotá, Bogota D.C.Ages 18 years+ - NCT03621566Recruiting
Sleep apnea registry for adults with non-obstructive events
This study builds a registry to learn more about sleep apnea patterns, especially cases where most breathing events are not caused by blocked airway tissue. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with a specific sleep test result.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT04179981Recruiting
CPAP treatment effects in older COPD and sleep apnea patients
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
Detroit, MichiganAges 60 years+ - NCT04399200Recruiting
Study apnea after stroke to prevent new heart events
This trial looks at sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) in people soon after a first stroke or a TIA, to see if it can be linked to new cardiovascular (heart/blood vessel) events. It also aims to make sure you can safely follow the study and rehabilitation plan.
GrenobleAges 18–85 - NCT04712656Recruiting
CPAP treatment for sleep apnea and blood pressure changes
This study tests whether using CPAP (a breathing machine) for obstructive sleep apnea can improve blood pressure and heartbeat timing. You’ll have blood pressure checked at the start and again after 6 months, along with a sleep evaluation to confirm eligibility.
Columbus, OhioAges 30–75 - 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 - NCT06332404Recruiting
Sleep apnea nerve stimulation therapy registry
This study is tracking how well a nerve stimulation device works for people with obstructive sleep apnea who can't use a CPAP machine. The device, called Inspire, sends mild electrical pulses to help keep your airway open while you sleep.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18–99 - NCT06463561RecruitingPhase 4
CPAP for high cholesterol and sleep apnea
This study tests if CPAP therapy can improve cholesterol and uric acid levels in people with both high cholesterol and moderate to severe sleep apnea. It may help if you have sleep apnea and are looking for additional ways to manage your lipid levels.
Coslada, MadridAges 35–80 - 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 - NCT07186725Recruiting
Home sleep monitor for obstructive sleep apnea
This trial tests a new home-based sleep monitor that goes under your mattress. It may help people with obstructive sleep apnea who are using a mouthpiece (MAD) as treatment.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–80 - NCT07332442RecruitingPhase 3
CPAP and arousal in new sleep apnea patients
This study tests whether a common sleep apnea treatment (CPAP) affects how easily you wake up and the reasons behind it. It is for people who have just been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are not taking certain sleep medications or alcohol.
North Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT02630121RecruitingPhase 4
Nasal spray treatment to reduce mild sleep apnea congestion
This study tests whether using oxymetazoline with fluticasone nasal spray can improve mild obstructive sleep apnea by lowering nasal congestion. If your nose stays blocked most days despite current spray use, this may help your breathing during sleep.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–65 - NCT07444372Recruiting
CPAP for Sleep Apnea After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
This trial tests whether starting CPAP therapy (a breathing mask used during sleep) after a heart procedure called atrial fibrillation ablation can help people with both sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation. It might lower the chance of the heart rhythm problem coming back.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07049744Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for adults with obstructive sleep apnea
This trial tests a device that stimulates a nerve to keep your airway open during sleep. It might help if you have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea and cannot use a CPAP mask.
Canberra, Australian Capital TerritoryAges 21 years+ - NCT04118387RecruitingPhase 4
Study of how to treat central sleep apnea in Veterans
This Phase 4 study looks at what’s going on in the body during central sleep apnea and uses that information to guide treatment. If you have central sleep apnea, this could help confirm or improve how treatment is chosen for you.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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+ - 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.
