Recruiting studies
- NCT07493629Recruiting
Study on immune status and disease control in inflammatory airway diseases
This study looks at how the immune system works and how well diseases like asthma, COPD, and others are controlled. You may join if you have one of these conditions or if you are a healthy volunteer or smoker without lung disease.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07466888Recruiting
Adjusting electrical stimulation frequency for tongue muscle activity
This trial tests how changing the frequency of gentle electrical pulses to a tongue muscle affects its activity. It may help people with sleep apnea by strengthening the muscle that keeps the airway open during sleep.

Sleep apnea risk before chest surgery
This study uses a simple questionnaire (STOP-Bang) to check if patients having chest surgery might have undiagnosed sleep apnea or face breathing challenges during surgery. It helps doctors plan safer care.
Ankara, KeçiörenAges 18–65 - NCT06286189RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing trazodone for sleep apnea
This trial tests whether the medication trazodone can help people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). If you have OSA and are not taking certain medications or have other sleep disorders, you may be able to join.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–70 - 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 - NCT07380321Recruiting
Diaphragm ultrasound for children with sleep apnea
This study uses ultrasound to measure diaphragm movement in children with sleep apnea during routine surgery. It may help doctors better understand how sleep apnea affects breathing.

Registry for teens and young adults with OSA who can’t use CPAP
This study collects information in a registry to help doctors understand outcomes for young people with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who cannot use CPAP and may use an implantable breathing stimulation device. You might qualify if you’ve tried and couldn’t tolerate CPAP and you’re able/willing to get and use the device and return for follow-ups and sleep tests.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–21 - NCT07370350Recruiting
Ultrasound study of tongue in children with obesity
This study uses ultrasound (a safe, painless scan) to look at the tongue and how it moves in children and teenagers with obesity. Researchers want to learn more about tongue features that might affect breathing or weight, and the results could help improve care.
BrusselsAges 6–18 - 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 - NCT03948373Recruiting
Study of sleep apnea patients with normal blood pressure
This study is looking at a specific sleep-related condition (obstructive sleep apnea) in adults whose blood pressure is not high, and how their blood pressure rhythm changes over the day. If you have sleep apnea, participating could help researchers understand patterns that may affect long-term health.
LleidaAges 18–100 - NCT06851338Recruiting
Inspire therapy study for teens with Down syndrome and sleep apnea
This study tests a device called Inspire that stimulates the airway during sleep to treat obstructive sleep apnea in teenagers with Down syndrome who cannot use a CPAP machine or had a tonsillectomy that did not work well.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 13–18 - NCT07345312Recruiting
Testing BodySleep algorithm for child sleep apnea diagnosis
This study tests a new computer algorithm (called BodySleep) that analyzes sleep data to help diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in children. It aims to make diagnosis faster and easier for kids who are already scheduled for a sleep study.
Nancy, Grand EstAges 2–18 - NCT07334444Recruiting
Improving sleep apnea care for children with Down syndrome
This study looks at how sleep apnea is managed in children with Down syndrome. It aims to find better treatment approaches by reviewing data from kids who visited ear, nose, and throat (ENT) or sleep specialists in Strasbourg.
StrasbourgAges birth–17 years - NCT07331285Recruiting
Genio therapy study for moderate to severe sleep apnea
This trial studies a device called Genio that is implanted to help keep your airway open while you sleep. It is for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who have not been helped by other treatments.
Miami, FloridaAges 22 years+ - NCT07312136Enrolling by invitation
Liver health follow-up study for type 2 diabetes
This study follows up on people with type 2 diabetes who already took part in an earlier study about liver health. It uses an MRI scan to check the liver for fat and other changes, helping doctors understand the long-term impact of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Linköping, Östergötland CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07297342Recruiting
Comparing ways to use the 'Get Ready' app for weight loss surgery
This study compares two ways of using a smartphone app called 'Get Ready' to help people follow their pre-surgery plan before weight loss surgery. It aims to see which approach helps patients stay on track better.
GeelAges Any age - 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 - NCT07302685Recruiting
Taiwan Sleep Apnea Study
This study is looking at people who are sent by their doctor to the sleep center at China Medical University Hospital. It uses an overnight sleep test to learn more about sleep problems in Taiwan.
Taichung, TaiwanAges birth+ - NCT07292922Recruiting
Digital therapy for sleep apnea with tongue and face exercises

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for sleep apnea?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 328 recruiting 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 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 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.
