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 - NCT02431507Recruiting
First test of an implant device to prevent sleep apnea pauses
This trial is testing whether a new implanted device is safe and feasible for people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. It may help if you cannot tolerate CPAP (a common breathing device) and your apnea is caused by airflow blockage at the back of the tongue area.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21–70 - 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 - NCT03307330Recruiting
Study of body fat in people with obstructive sleep apnea
This study looks at how body fat (“adipose tissue”) may differ in people with obstructive sleep apnea. You may be asked for consent and could be asked to stop certain medicines short-term so researchers can take a safe fat sample.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–60 - NCT01902407Enrolling by invitation
Sleep scan study using computer models in people with Down syndrome
This study uses computer simulations to understand breathing airways and lung changes during sleep in people with Down syndrome. It may help researchers better interpret sleep MRI/CT scans and improve how sleep apnea (OSA) is studied in the future.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 1–90 - NCT07434050RecruitingPhase 3
Study of XW003 for obesity with sleep apnea on CPAP therapy
This trial tests an investigational drug called XW003 to see if it helps people with obesity and obstructive sleep apnea who are already using a positive airway pressure (PAP) machine, like CPAP. It aims to improve weight loss and sleep apnea symptoms.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07444372Recruiting
CPAP for Sleep Apnea After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
This trial tests whether starting CPAP therapy (a breathing mask used during sleep) after a heart procedure called atrial fibrillation ablation can help people with both sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation. It might lower the chance of the heart rhythm problem coming back.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT07427589Recruiting
New Heart Tests in Sleep Apnea
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects your heart and blood vessels over time. It uses a sleep study and heart tests to see if certain measurements can predict heart health changes.
AntwerpAges 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 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT07301762Enrolling by invitation
Manual lymphatic drainage device for sleep apnea patients
This trial tests if a nightly automated manual lymphatic drainage device called Neuroglide can improve how the brain clears waste (glymphatic function) in people with obstructive sleep apnea. You may qualify if you are 50 or older, have sleep apnea, and regularly use CPAP.
