- NCT06566820Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term follow-up for sleep apnea study

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.

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 - NCT07280468RecruitingPhase 4
Personalized sleep apnea treatment for Down syndrome
This study tests if a treatment chosen based on your specific type of sleep apnea works better for people with Down syndrome. It looks for participants who have sleep apnea but are not already using a CPAP machine regularly.

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 - NCT05804084RecruitingPhase 2
Acetazolamide for sleep apnea: sleep and brain outcomes
This study tests acetazolamide (a medicine that changes breathing chemistry) to see how it affects sleep quality and neurocognitive (brain/memory/attention) outcomes in adults with untreated moderate to severe sleep apnea. You may be eligible if you have significant sleep apnea but do not have certain safety risks or need to start standard sleep apnea treatment right away.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05237505RecruitingPhase 2
Sleep apnea plus COPD study to check heart and breathing effects
This Phase 2 study looks at the cardiovascular (heart/blood vessel) effects of having both sleep apnea and COPD. It may help doctors better understand who is at risk and how to manage these breathing problems together.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 40–79 - NCT06047496RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Time-restricted eating for sleep apnea
This study tests whether limiting your eating to a shorter daily window can improve health in people with untreated moderate to severe sleep apnea. You would eat all your meals within a set number of hours each day while tracking your progress on your smartphone.

What taking part in a obstructive sleep apnea study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
