Recruiting studies
- NCT05115968Recruiting
Study tonsil cell changes in children with sleep apnea
This study uses a lab method called single-cell sequencing to look at tiny cells from tonsil tissue in children. It compares children with obstructive sleep apnea to children without it, to better understand what’s happening in the throat and how it may relate to needing tonsil removal.
Hong KongAges 6–11 - NCT05838183Recruiting
Test treatment in people with lung disease and sleep apnea
This trial is studying how a treatment may work for adults who have interstitial lung disease or obstructive sleep apnea. It likely involves sleep testing so the team can measure breathing and sleep patterns.
TianjinAges 18–80 - NCT06452992Recruiting
Gut bacteria and sleep apnea in children
This study looks at the bacteria and natural chemicals in children’s bodies to learn more about sleep apnea. It could help doctors understand why some children have sleep problems and find better ways to treat them.
Hong KongAges 6–11 - NCT06452979Recruiting
Mouth inflammation in children with sleep apnea
This study looks at inflammation in the mouth tissues of children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It aims to understand how the body responds to breathing interruptions during sleep.
Hong KongAges 6–11 - 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 - 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 - NCT07225686RecruitingPhase 3
Maridebart Cafraglutide for sleep apnea in adults on CPAP
This study is testing whether a new medicine, called Maridebart Cafraglutide, can help people with obstructive sleep apnea who are already using a CPAP machine. The medicine may help with weight loss and potentially improve sleep apnea. Participants will either receive the medicine or a placebo (an inactive substance), and the study lasts for several months.
Northridge, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT07226765RecruitingPhase 3
Weight-loss drug for sleep apnea without CPAP
This study tests a new weight-loss medication called maridebart cafraglutide against a placebo in people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who are not using a CPAP machine. The goal is to find out if weight loss can reduce symptoms like pauses in breathing during sleep.
Northridge, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT07132307Recruiting
Mouthpiece help after failed sleep apnea nerve stimulator
This study tests whether adding a special mouthpiece (mandibular advancement device) can help people whose sleep apnea wasn't fully treated by a nerve stimulator implant. You would use the mouthpiece at night and take home sleep tests to see if your breathing improves.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–70 - NCT06792188Recruiting
Using a smartwatch to predict sleep apnea
This trial tests if a smartwatch can help predict sleep apnea in people who have symptoms like snoring or daytime sleepiness. It may offer a simpler way to identify the condition.
SeoulAges 22–85 - NCT06850220Recruiting
How sleep apnea affects thinking and empathy in kids
This study looks at how obstructive sleep apnea caused by enlarged tonsils or adenoids might affect a child's thinking skills and ability to understand others. It will help doctors learn if treating the sleep problem could also help with these skills.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 3–12 - NCT06258837Recruiting
Personalized surgery for sleep apnea in children with small tonsils
This study tests a personalized surgical approach for children with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who have small tonsils. The goal is to see if tailored surgery improves their breathing during sleep and overall health.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 2–17 - 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+ - NCT05267808Recruiting
Using sleep study patterns to guide future OSA treatment
This study looks at results from a sleep test to better understand the different types (“endotypes”) of obstructive sleep apnea. Your information may help doctors choose the next best step—often a procedure called drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE)—to guide treatment.
EdegemAges 18 years+ - NCT06453018Recruiting
Sleep position therapy for children with sleep apnea
This trial tests if changing sleep position (like avoiding sleeping on the back) can improve sleep apnea in children aged 6 to 17. It may be an option if your child has moderate to severe sleep apnea that gets worse when lying on their back.
Hong KongAges 6–17 - NCT06564896Recruiting
Comparing sleep apnea treatments (CPAP vs alternatives)
This trial compares different positive airway pressure (PAP) machines to see which works best for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. If you have been diagnosed but haven't used a CPAP yet, this study may help find the best option for you.
Cheras, Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT05527652Recruiting
Breathing tube device to help blocked upper airways in children
This study tests a self-supporting breathing tube placed through the nose during sleep to reduce upper airway blockage and improve breathing in children. It may help children who have sleep apnea symptoms, especially after tonsil/adenoid treatment or when tonsil removal isn’t possible.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 3–21 - NCT04630535Recruiting
Using brief arm treatment before bypass surgery
This trial studies whether a simple, remote “arm treatment” given before scheduled aorto-bifemoral bypass surgery can help protect blood flow during surgery. If you fit the surgery plan and don’t have certain excluded conditions, the study may offer an added protective approach.
Brno, Czech RepublicAges 18 years+ - NCT07305168Recruiting
Breathing after tonsil surgery in children with sleep apnea
This study looks at breathing problems that can happen after tonsil or adenoid surgery in children who have sleep apnea. Researchers want to learn more so they can make surgery safer for kids.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 1–18 - NCT06047353Recruiting
Helping people with sleep apnea try PAP therapy for the first time
This study tests whether health advocates can help people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea start using a PAP machine. If you've never used a PAP or other sleep apnea treatment before, this trial may help you get support and guidance.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for sleep apnea syndrome (osas)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 92 recruiting sleep apnea syndrome (osas) 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 sleep apnea syndrome (osas) 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 sleep apnea syndrome (osas) 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.
