Nancy, Grand EstAges 2–18 - NCT07736872Recruiting
Sleep apnea screening in diverse groups
This study is screening people from different backgrounds for obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep). It uses a sleep test and questionnaires to see if you might have it.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04538755Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug for moderate to severe sleep apnea
This trial tests a drug called DAW2020 to see if it can improve how your body controls breathing during sleep. You may qualify if you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and are otherwise healthy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–70 - NCT03725956Recruiting
Sleep study before and after nasal polyp surgery
This study uses a sleep test to look at breathing and sleep patterns in people with nasal polyps who need surgery because medicine didn’t help. It may help doctors understand how nasal polyps affect sleep and how surgery changes those sleep measurements.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT03858751RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug to activate a sleep-control pathway for sleep apnea
This early study tests a medicine that is meant to improve how your brain and breathing muscles work during sleep for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). If you qualify, you would be monitored during sleep to see whether the treatment changes breathing events and oxygen levels.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–70 - NCT03929549Recruiting
Testing a tool to predict jaw surgery failure for sleep apnea
This trial studies a way to predict which people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may not do well after maxillomandibular advancement surgery (jaw advancement). It could help doctors choose the right treatment and avoid ineffective surgery.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 30–65 - 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 - NCT04130503Recruiting
Breathing device study after a recent ischemic stroke
This study looks at whether using a PAP breathing machine soon after an ischemic stroke helps sleep and recovery. It focuses on people who have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea diagnosed around the time of their stroke.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04114084Recruiting
Sleep apnea study in people with MGUS or multiple myeloma
This study looks at sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) in people who have MGUS or multiple myeloma. You may be asked to participate because you already need a bone marrow biopsy as part of your usual care.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–99 - NCT04192656RecruitingPhase 4
PAP treatment for sudden hearing loss with sleep apnea
This trial tests whether using PAP (a breathing device for sleep apnea) can improve sudden hearing loss that happens alongside obstructive sleep apnea. It may help by reducing stress on the body during sleep and supporting hearing recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04457154Recruiting
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 - NCT04557293Recruiting
Testing how thinking decisions affect CPAP use
This trial studies whether a person’s decision-making skills affect how well they use CPAP, a common treatment for sleep apnea. It may help you and your care team improve CPAP adherence so therapy is more effective.
PaviaAges 18–80 - NCT04623463Recruiting
Exercise and how it affects sleep apnea severity
This study looks at whether regular physical activity can make obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) less severe. It focuses on people who are not yet receiving OSA treatment and checks changes in severity over time.
GrenobleAges 18–80 - 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.
