Better ways to adjust CPAP therapy when it isn't working well

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 - NCT02703207Recruiting
Sleep apnea and COPD effects in older veterans
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 - NCT05958563Recruiting
CPAP may prevent COPD flare-ups in COPD-OSA overlap
This study tests whether using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can reduce acute COPD flare-ups in people who also have sleep apnea. It may help by improving breathing during sleep and lowering the chance of worsening lung symptoms.
AngersAges 40 years+ - NCT06634264Recruiting
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 - NCT07579871Recruiting
Sleep patterns and recovery after first stroke
This study looks at how sleep affects recovery in people who have had their first ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot). Researchers want to understand whether sleep quality influences how well patients regain function after stroke.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT05539716Recruiting
Treating sleep apnea to study effects on metabolism
This study tests a sleep apnea treatment approach and looks at how it may affect your body’s metabolism. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with sleep apnea and meet health and medication rules, and possibly if you already use a PAP machine regularly.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT05953610RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery study for sleep apnea when CPAP won’t work
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a specific type of palate surgery can treat moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea in people who cannot tolerate CPAP (a breathing mask). It also checks patient traits (based on sleep testing) to see who is most likely to benefit from surgery.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT06382883Recruiting
Lifestyle and activity for sleep apnea
This study tests a lifestyle and physical activity program as a treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It is for people who have not tried CPAP and want to see if exercise and healthy habits can help.
JyväskyläAges 18–70 - NCT06748703Recruiting
Optic nerve injury in obstructive sleep apnea patients

Wall Squat Exercise for Blood Pressure in Sleep Apnea
This study tests whether a simple wall squat exercise can help lower blood pressure in people who have both high blood pressure and sleep apnea (treated with CPAP). If you are using CPAP regularly and are otherwise healthy enough to exercise, this trial may be a good fit for you.
BragaAges 18–80 - NCT06514482Recruiting

Logroño, La RiojaAges 18 years+ - NCT06801366Recruiting
Video clips to help diagnose sleep apnea in children
This study tests if video clips recorded at home can help diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in children, possibly reducing the need for an overnight hospital sleep test. It may be a good fit if your child is between 2 and 18 years old, has been referred for a sleep study, and you have a smartphone or tablet.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for sleep apnea syndromes?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 126 recruiting sleep apnea syndromes 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 syndromes 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 syndromes 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.
