Recruiting studies
- NCT06522815Recruiting

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06568159Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment in heart patients
This study looks at how well people with heart disease or high heart risk follow their sleep apnea treatment, comparing a mouth device (MAD) to a CPAP machine. It aims to find which treatment works better for daily use.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06586268Recruiting
Sleep changes after surgery in people with sleep apnea
This study looks at how sleep patterns change in the first three nights after surgery for people who have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It aims to understand how anesthesia and sleep apnea severity affect sleep quality during recovery.

Comparing two therapies for children with sleep apnea after surgery
This study compares two different exercises (called oral reeducation) to see which works better for children who still have breathing problems during sleep even after getting their tonsils or adenoids removed. It helps kids breathe easier at night.
Montreal, QuebecAges 4–14 - NCT06664450Recruiting
Brain fog in sleep apnea
This study looks at brain fog (difficulty thinking or concentrating) in people with severe sleep apnea, both before and after starting CPAP therapy. It aims to understand how sleep apnea treatment affects brain function.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06668597Recruiting
Sleep apnea education and motivation program
This trial tests an educational program to help people with sleep apnea start using CPAP at home. The program is designed to motivate and guide you through the process of adapting to CPAP therapy.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06677151Recruiting
New sleep apnea device study for CPAP users
This study tests a new device for sleep apnea that you can use instead of a CPAP machine. If you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and CPAP isn't working well for you, this study may help find an easier option.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 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 - NCT06698809Recruiting
Treating leftover sleepiness in sleep apnea patients
This study tests if a light therapy device can help reduce daytime sleepiness in people who are already using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea but still feel tired. It involves MRI scans and regular check-ins over two years.
New York, New YorkAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT06720545Recruiting
Short break from nerve stimulation therapy and heart health
This study looks at what happens to your heart health and metabolism when you stop using a nerve stimulator for sleep apnea for a short time. It may help understand the risks and benefits of taking a break from this therapy.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06748703Recruiting
Optic nerve injury in obstructive sleep apnea patients
This study looks at whether sleep apnea affects the optic nerve, which connects your eye to your brain. It is for people newly diagnosed with sleep apnea who have not yet received treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06769607Recruiting

Nasal vs mouth breathing during drug-induced sleep
This study compares how breathing through the nose versus mouth affects sleep, using both natural and medication-induced sleep. It may help people with sleep apnea understand their breathing patterns better.

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.
