Recruiting studies
- 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.
Gyeonggi-do, Seongnam-siAges 19 years+ - NCT05501236Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for sleep apnea using neck nerve signals
This study tests a device that stimulates nerves in the neck to help keep your airway open during sleep for obstructive sleep apnea. If you fit the safety and sleep-study requirements, it may offer an alternative approach to improving breathing at night.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07362706Enrolling by invitation
Extended breathing tube use for stomach cancer with sleep apnea
This trial looks at keeping a breathing tube in longer after stomach cancer surgery for patients who also have severe sleep apnea. The goal is to see if this helps with recovery and safety.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–85 - NCT07312136Enrolling by invitation
Liver health follow-up in type 2 diabetes
This study follows up on people who already joined the EPSONIP trial to check how their liver health (MASLD) has changed over time. It uses MRI to look at the liver and does not test any new medicine.
Linköping, Östergötland CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07009535Enrolling by invitation
Sleep apnea risk and orthodontic issues in children
This study looks at how narrow upper jaws (maxillary constriction) relate to sleep apnea in children with mixed teeth. It aims to understand if dental problems affect breathing during sleep and guide future treatments.
Pavia, LombardyAges 6–12 - NCT06970171Enrolling by invitation
Willingness to use a sleep apnea mouthpiece
This trial tests how well people accept a mouthpiece (mandibular advancement device) to treat obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where your breathing stops and starts during sleep). If you have sleep apnea and can wear a device that moves your lower jaw forward while you sleep, you may be able to join.
Greifswald, Mecklenburg-VorpommernAges 18–75 - NCT06786117Enrolling by invitation
Swallowing therapy study for sleep apnea patients
This study tests whether daily swallowing exercises can help people with sleep apnea who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy. It compares three groups: healthy people, successful CPAP users, and those who have difficulty using CPAP.
Cleveland, OhioAges 40–70 - NCT06566820Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term follow-up for sleep apnea study
This is a follow-up study for people with obstructive sleep apnea who have already completed two prior studies with the same medicine. The goal is to keep tracking your health and the medicine's effects over a longer time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05606991Enrolling by invitation
Testing how CPAP affects brain waste clearance during sleep
This study looks at how stopping CPAP for 14 nights affects “brain waste clearance,” a process your brain uses to clear byproducts during sleep. It is testing whether using CPAP versus stopping it changes this brain cleanup in adults with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Macquarie Park, New South WalesAges 35–65 - NCT04129229Enrolling by invitation
Tongue device study for moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and snoring
This trial tests a tongue retractor device to help treat obstructive sleep apnea and reduce snoring in adults. You may be eligible if you have moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and can avoid other common treatments during the study.
Brighton, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03589846Enrolling by invitation
Muscle stimulation during a sleep endoscopy test
This trial studies whether muscle stimulation during DISE (a procedure to look at your airway while you’re sedated) can help people with obstructive sleep apnea who can’t tolerate CPAP. Your DISE is part of routine care, and the study adds a muscle stimulation step to see if it changes what’s happening in the throat.
Nashvile, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07775976Enrolling by invitation
Whole-heart checkup with a wearable heart monitor
This study looks at how well a wearable heart monitor and special software can check the health of your whole heart and assess your risk of future heart problems. It may help doctors create more personalized care plans.
Pasadena, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02922894RecruitingPhase 4
Testing sleep apnea care in people with spinal cord injury
This study looks at treatment for sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) in adults with a spinal cord injury. If you qualify, the trial team may help manage sleep-related breathing problems and track how well the treatment works.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–89 - NCT02057783Recruiting
Exercise program to lower blood pressure in sleep apnea
This trial tests whether a supervised physical activity program can help lower blood pressure in people with obstructive sleep apnea and resistant high blood pressure. It may help you control blood pressure when it has not improved despite multiple medications.
QuébecAges 18–80 - NCT06649929Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Better sleep for Latino couples and brain health
This study tests a program to help Latino couples improve sleep and CPAP use, which may lower Alzheimer's risk. You and your partner will join telehealth sessions together.
Tuscon, ArizonaAges 35 years+ - NCT06763549Enrolling by invitation
AI-powered wearable patch for heart and lung monitoring
This study tests an AI-powered wearable patch (the COR ECG) to see if it can better track heart and lung health. It may help doctors find problems earlier without needing bulky equipment.
Melbourne, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06397365Recruiting
Hypnosis for better CPAP use
This trial tests if hypnosis sessions can help people with sleep-disordered breathing use their CPAP machine more consistently, especially if they are currently using it less than 3 hours a night.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT06883617Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for sleep breathing problems
This trial tests a new device that uses gentle electrical stimulation to improve breathing during sleep. It is for people who have moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing and cannot use or do not get enough help from other treatments like CPAP.
Asunción, ParaguayAges 18 years+ - NCT07243405Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for sleep breathing problems
This trial tests a nerve stimulation device for people with moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing who cannot use or tolerate standard treatments. It may help you breathe better during sleep.
Panama City, Provincia de PanamáAges 18 years+ - NCT06169761Recruiting
Tongue strength test in healthy adults
This study measures tongue strength in healthy adults. It helps researchers understand normal tongue function, which may improve treatments for swallowing problems.
Louvain-la-NeuveAges 18 years+ - NCT06609694Recruiting
Comparing oxygen delivery methods for children with sleep apnea
This study tests a new way to give oxygen to children aged 5-17 who have obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops briefly during sleep). It aims to see if a demand oxygen delivery system works better than standard care. This could help children with Down syndrome who often have untreated sleep apnea.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 5–17 - 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

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for obstructive sleep apnea?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 310 recruiting obstructive 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 obstructive 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 obstructive 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.
