Recruiting studies
- NCT04814420Recruiting
Study heart scarring in sleep apnea, with or without atrial fibrillation
This pilot study looks at whether obstructive sleep apnea leads to heart scarring (called atrial fibrosis), especially in people with and without an irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation). It may help researchers understand who is at higher risk and why, using sleep testing and heart imaging.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 18–75 - NCT02703207Recruiting

Detroit, MichiganAges 60–89 - NCT07090395Recruiting
Expanding use of EVO oral appliance for severe sleep apnea
This trial tests whether an EVO oral appliance can treat severe obstructive sleep apnea in people who haven't used other treatments recently. It aims to see if the device works for a wider group of patients.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT07345312Recruiting
Testing BodySleep algorithm for child sleep apnea diagnosis
This study tests a new computer algorithm (called BodySleep) that analyzes sleep data to help diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in children. It aims to make diagnosis faster and easier for kids who are already scheduled for a sleep study.
Nancy, Grand EstAges 2–18 - NCT07601724Recruiting
How fluid buildup affects sleep apnea in heart failure
This study looks at how excess fluid in the body affects sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) in people hospitalized with heart failure. Researchers will measure sleep apnea before and after treatment to reduce the fluid, which may help doctors better manage both conditions together.
JerusalemAges 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 - 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 - NCT07087587Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment for AFib: a personalized trial
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea with a CPAP machine can reduce the number of AFib episodes you have. It's a personalized 'N-of-1' trial, meaning you'll try both CPAP and no CPAP at different times to see what works best for you.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–85 - 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+ - NCT06755840Recruiting
Sleep breathing problems and multiple health conditions study
This study is for people who may have sleep-related breathing problems (like sleep apnea). It looks at how these issues connect with other health conditions. Participants will do a one-night sleep test and some simple health checks at Xiangya Hospital.
ChangshaAges Any age - NCT06762873RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a nerve therapy for Latin Americans with sleep apnea
This trial tests a new nerve-stimulation therapy called Neuromod to treat moderate-to-severe sleep apnea in people who do not have access to other treatments. If you qualify, you would be part of a study to see if this implant helps improve your breathing during sleep.
AsunciónAges 18 years+ - NCT07446634Recruiting
Jaw advancement surgery for sleep apnea
This study tests jaw advancement surgery for people with obstructive sleep apnea who haven't been helped by CPAP or mouthpieces. It looks at whether moving the jaw forward can improve breathing during sleep.
Falun, Dalarna CountyAges 18–70 - NCT05267808Recruiting
Using sleep study patterns to guide future OSA treatment
This study looks at results from a sleep test to better understand the different types (“endotypes”) of obstructive sleep apnea. Your information may help doctors choose the next best step—often a procedure called drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE)—to guide treatment.
EdegemAges 18 years+ - NCT06314477Recruiting
CPAP treatment for severe uncontrolled asthma with sleep apnea
This trial tests if CPAP (a mask that helps you breathe at night) can improve asthma control in people who have both severe uncontrolled asthma and sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep). You should not have been hospitalized for asthma in the last month.
Barcelona, SpainAges 18 years+ - NCT06059352Recruiting
Sleep and hearing in autism spectrum disorder study
This study looks at how sleep problems might affect the way people with autism process sounds. It aims to find better ways to help with listening difficulties.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 6–17 - NCT07210606RecruitingPhase 4
Sleep apnea treatment study for veterans with heart failure
This study looks at how well a medicine called trazodone might help treat central sleep apnea in veterans who also have heart failure. It aims to improve sleep and breathing, which may help you feel better.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06564896Recruiting
Comparing sleep apnea treatments (CPAP vs alternatives)
This trial compares different positive airway pressure (PAP) machines to see which works best for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. If you have been diagnosed but haven't used a CPAP yet, this study may help find the best option for you.
Cheras, Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06372847Recruiting
Sleep apnea nerve stimulation study
This trial tests a nerve-stimulation implant for sleep apnea when other treatments haven't worked. It may help if you have moderate to severe apnea, a BMI under 32, and have tried CPAP and a mouth device without success.
Edegem, AntwerpenAges 18 years+ - NCT06861686Recruiting
New classification for obstructive sleep apnea
This study is improving how doctors classify obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where your breathing stops and starts during sleep). It focuses on sleepiness and heart-related risks to help guide treatment. If you are 40 or older and have untreated OSA, you may be able to join.
Antwerp, AntwerpAges 40 years+ - 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.

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for central sleep apnea?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 93 recruiting central sleep 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 central sleep 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 central sleep 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.
