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 - NCT07679282RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing sleep apnea treatments: CPAP, mouthpiece, or medication
This study compares three treatments for obstructive sleep apnea: a CPAP machine, a dental mouthpiece, and a combination of two medications (atomoxetine and oxybutynin). Researchers want to see which works best for people recently diagnosed with sleep apnea.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06677580Recruiting
OSA digital network for early diagnosis and monitoring
This trial tests a digital tool to help diagnose and monitor obstructive sleep apnea earlier. It may help people with sleep apnea get better care.
Milan, ItalyAges 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.
SantanderAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT06711159Recruiting
Searching for a biomarker of sleepiness in severe sleep apnea
This study looks for a biological marker of severe daytime sleepiness in people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who haven't started breathing machine treatment yet. It may help doctors better understand and treat sleepiness in the future.
Koege, Regional ZealandAges 18 years+ - NCT06715228Recruiting
Breathing exercise for sleep apnea
This trial tests a special breathing exercise program (called Shitali) to see if it helps people with mild or moderate sleep apnea who are not obese. If you qualify, you'll learn a gentle therapy that may improve your sleep without machines or medicine.
Dokki, Giza GovernorateAges 35–55 - 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+ - NCT07603583Recruiting
Heart Rate Variability to Detect Sleep Apnea in Hypertension
This study tests whether a simple heart-rate measurement can help detect obstructive sleep apnea (a breathing condition during sleep) in people with high blood pressure. The goal is to find an easier way to screen for sleep apnea, which often goes undiagnosed but can worsen heart health.
Kaohsiung City, KaohsiungAges 18–65 - NCT07581938Recruiting
Early Dental Screening for Sleep Problems in Kids
This study uses a smartphone app and a wearable device to check for early signs of sleep-disordered breathing—a condition where breathing stops briefly during sleep—in children ages 8–13. The goal is to catch dental and jaw problems that might lead to sleep issues before they become serious.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 8–13 - NCT07577661RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Electrical and medication combination therapy for sleep apnea
This trial tests whether combining electrical stimulation (via an Inspire device you already have or will get) with two medications can better treat obstructive sleep apnea. You'll help researchers understand if this combination works better than the device alone.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–79 - NCT07555119Recruiting
Home Sleep Testing: Night-to-Night Measurement Variability Study
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+ - NCT07530302Recruiting
Better ways to adjust CPAP therapy when it isn't working well
This trial tests whether a wearable device called Sunrise can help doctors adjust your CPAP machine better than standard sleep tests. If your current CPAP isn't stopping all your breathing pauses, this study may help find the right adjustments for you.
GrenobleAges 18–85 - NCT07476313Enrolling by invitation
Testing a new home sleep system for moderate to severe sleep apnea
This study tests a home sleep testing system called SleepView+ in people who have already been scheduled for an overnight sleep lab study. If you have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, this device might offer a more convenient way to monitor your sleep at home.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 12 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 - NCT07464262Recruiting
Telemonitoring with CPAP for severe sleep apnea patients
This trial tests whether telemonitoring (checking in remotely) helps people with severe sleep apnea adjust to CPAP therapy. If you live in São Paulo and recently started CPAP, this study may help you get extra support.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–75 - NCT07447999Recruiting
Using AI to predict sleep apnea severity
This trial tests whether a special computer model can predict sleep apnea severity using a stethoscope and a fingertip oxygen sensor, instead of a full sleep test. It might help people get faster and easier sleep apnea diagnosis.
New Taipei CityAges 30–75 - 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 - NCT07447011Recruiting
Glaucoma treatment response with sleep apnea lifestyle changes
This trial tests whether lifestyle changes can help open-angle glaucoma in people who also have obstructive sleep apnea and are obese. It may offer a non-drug way to manage both conditions.
Giza, DokkiAges 30–50 - NCT06803095Recruiting
Walking with a dog for tinnitus relief in sleep apnea
