Recruiting studies
- NCT04112927Recruiting
Sound-based test for sleep apnea
This study uses sound recordings to detect sleep apnea while you are awake and during sleep, which could offer a simpler alternative to traditional sleep studies. If you are suspected of having sleep apnea, this trial may help improve diagnosis and monitoring.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18–70 - NCT03860233RecruitingPhase 1
Oxytocin added to CPAP for obstructive sleep apnea
This early study tests whether adding oxytocin to your usual CPAP treatment improves obstructive sleep apnea. It may help see if oxytocin changes how well CPAP works or how people feel while using it.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03062748Enrolling by invitation
Study tests how sleep apnea and inflammation relate to risk
This study looks at people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to understand how inflammation and breathing disruption may affect future heart and metabolism risk. It may help explain why some people develop higher risk even with milder sleep apnea.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02703207Recruiting
Sleep apnea and COPD effects in older veterans
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects thinking skills and overall health in older veterans who also have COPD. It may help researchers understand what changes to target to improve daytime functioning and wellbeing.
Detroit, MichiganAges 60–89 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06334601Recruiting
Sleep apnea test to measure airway collapse and muscle response
This study looks at how the upper airway collapses and how muscles respond in people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during sleep. It may help researchers understand why some treatments work better for some people.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07136909Recruiting
Testing a sleep apnea questionnaire for French children
This study is testing a French questionnaire (OSA-18) to see if it helps screen for sleep apnea in kids. It may lead to easier detection of breathing problems during sleep.
Bron, RhôneAges 4–17 - 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+ - NCT06227572Recruiting
Thinking and memory after sleep apnea treatment in Native Americans
This study looks at whether using a PAP (breathing) machine helps thinking and memory in Native American adults with sleep apnea. If you are 50 or older and just starting PAP therapy, researchers want to see how it affects your brain health.
Eagle Butte, South DakotaAges 40 years+ - NCT04623463Recruiting
Exercise and how it affects sleep apnea severity
This study looks at whether regular physical activity can make obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) less severe. It focuses on people who are not yet receiving OSA treatment and checks changes in severity over time.
GrenobleAges 18–80 - NCT03948373Recruiting
Study of sleep apnea patients with normal blood pressure
This study is looking at a specific sleep-related condition (obstructive sleep apnea) in adults whose blood pressure is not high, and how their blood pressure rhythm changes over the day. If you have sleep apnea, participating could help researchers understand patterns that may affect long-term health.
LleidaAges 18–100 - NCT06896448Recruiting
Sleep apnea screening for head and neck cancer patients
This study tests a smartphone app (Apneal) to screen for sleep apnea in people who are being checked for head and neck cancer. It aims to find sleep problems early so they can be treated.
Caen, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT04630535Recruiting
Using brief arm treatment before bypass surgery
This trial studies whether a simple, remote “arm treatment” given before scheduled aorto-bifemoral bypass surgery can help protect blood flow during surgery. If you fit the surgery plan and don’t have certain excluded conditions, the study may offer an added protective approach.
Brno, Czech RepublicAges 18 years+ - NCT02762175Recruiting
Track breathing airway changes after jaw surgery for sleep apnea
This study records how your upper airway changes on scans after a jaw surgery called MMA for obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS). It also looks at how those changes relate to quality of life, which may help doctors better predict who benefits from surgery.
BrugesAges Any age - NCT05988385Recruiting
Treating sleep apnea to protect memory in older adults
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea can help protect memory and brain health in older adults. It involves using a CPAP machine or other treatments for sleep apnea and may include memory tests and brain scans over 2 years.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 55–85 - NCT05612594RecruitingPhase 4
Study of an SGLT2 pill for sleep apnea in overweight adults
This study tests whether taking an SGLT2 inhibitor pill (bexagliflozin) can improve obstructive sleep apnea and related body measurements. It focuses on people who are overweight or obese and have confirmed obstructive sleep apnea.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 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+ - NCT06960746Recruiting
Lifestyle change for sleep apnea, metabolic syndrome, and impotence
This trial tests whether changing your lifestyle can help men with sleep apnea, metabolic syndrome, and erectile dysfunction. It studies how improving diet and exercise might improve these conditions together.
Giza, DokkiAges 40–50 - NCT05156112Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment for veterans with PTSD and substance use
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea with a breathing device during a residential program helps veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use problems. It aims to improve their recovery and quality of life.

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 - NCT04457154Recruiting
Registry for teens and young adults with OSA who can’t use CPAP
This study collects information in a registry to help doctors understand outcomes for young people with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who cannot use CPAP and may use an implantable breathing stimulation device. You might qualify if you’ve tried and couldn’t tolerate CPAP and you’re able/willing to get and use the device and return for follow-ups and sleep tests.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for obstructive sleep apnea (osas)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 229 recruiting obstructive sleep apnea (osas) 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 obstructive sleep apnea (osas) 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 obstructive sleep apnea (osas) 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.
