Recruiting studies
- NCT06566820Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term follow-up for sleep apnea study

This study tests whether dronabinol, a cannabis-like medicine, can help people with moderate sleep apnea breathe better at night. It may be an option for those who haven't found other treatments helpful.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 65 years - NCT06413420Recruiting
Pregnancy registry for narcolepsy or sleep apnea treatments
This study tracks the health of pregnant women who have narcolepsy or sleep apnea, or who have taken certain wake-promoting medications during pregnancy. It helps researchers learn more about the safety of these treatments for mothers and babies.
Morrisville, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT06381115Recruiting
SleepWell24 app for new CPAP users
This study tests a smartphone app called SleepWell24 to help people with newly diagnosed sleep apnea stick with their CPAP therapy and improve their quality of life.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06390345Recruiting
Telehealth lifestyle and exercise for COPD and sleep apnea
This study tests a telehealth program that combines lifestyle coaching and exercise to help people with both COPD and sleep apnea improve their breathing and daily function. It may be a good fit if you are overweight, have a history of smoking, and feel short of breath during light activity.
Boise, IdahoAges 18 years+ - NCT06291870Recruiting
Predicting long-term effects after COVID-19
This study looks at what happens to your thinking and daily health after COVID-19, especially if you have sleep apnea. It aims to find out who is more likely to have ongoing problems.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06261034Recruiting
How sex affects blood pressure control
This study looks at how the nervous system controls blood pressure differently in men and women. It may help researchers understand why some heart conditions affect men and women differently.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 20–70 - NCT06227572Recruiting
Thinking and memory after sleep apnea treatment in Native Americans
This study looks at whether using a PAP (breathing) machine helps thinking and memory in Native American adults with sleep apnea. If you are 50 or older and just starting PAP therapy, researchers want to see how it affects your brain health.
Eagle Butte, South DakotaAges 40 years+ - NCT06169761Recruiting
Tongue strength test in healthy adults
This study measures tongue strength in healthy adults. It helps researchers understand normal tongue function, which may improve treatments for swallowing problems.
Louvain-la-NeuveAges 18 years+ - NCT06132477RecruitingPhase 4
Study of GLP-1 medicines after weight loss surgery
This study looks at what happens when people taking a GLP-1 medication (like Ozempic) either stop or continue it after weight loss surgery. The goal is to learn whether staying on the medicine helps with long-term weight control.
Columbia, MissouriAges 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 - 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.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–100 - 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 - NCT06015620Recruiting
Health changes after mini gastric bypass surgery
This study looks at how mini gastric bypass surgery helps with obesity-related health problems and changes in body composition. It aims to see if patients experience improvements in conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Bhubaneswar, OdishaAges 18–65 - NCT05988385Recruiting
Treating sleep apnea to protect memory in older adults
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea can help protect memory and brain health in older adults. It involves using a CPAP machine or other treatments for sleep apnea and may include memory tests and brain scans over 2 years.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 55–85 - NCT05917119Recruiting
Bright light therapy for obstructive sleep apnea symptoms
This study tests whether a “bright light” treatment can reduce daytime sleepiness in people with obstructive sleep apnea who are already using CPAP or BiPAP. It may help people feel more awake during the day without changing their sleep apnea device use.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 40–65 - 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 - NCT05606991Enrolling by invitation
Testing how CPAP affects brain waste clearance during sleep
This study looks at how stopping CPAP for 14 nights affects “brain waste clearance,” a process your brain uses to clear byproducts during sleep. It is testing whether using CPAP versus stopping it changes this brain cleanup in adults with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Macquarie Park, New South WalesAges 35–65 - NCT05536076Recruiting
Breathing treatment to help recovery after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether a breathing-support treatment (for abnormal breathing during sleep) can improve breathing recovery in people living with a spinal cord injury. It aims to see if treating higher carbon dioxide levels and sleep-breathing problems leads to better breathing and recovery.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–89 - 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 - NCT05501236Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for sleep apnea using neck nerve signals
This study tests a device that stimulates nerves in the neck to help keep your airway open during sleep for obstructive sleep apnea. If you fit the safety and sleep-study requirements, it may offer an alternative approach to improving breathing at night.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05429983Recruiting
Predicts results from Inspire tongue-stimulation for sleep apnea
This study looks at how breathing mechanics during a sleep-related test (DISE) can help predict how well Inspire tongue (hypoglossal nerve) stimulation will work. It may help your care team choose the best approach and set expectations for improvement.

Testing atomoxetine and DAW2022 for obstructive sleep apnea severity
This study tests whether atomoxetine and DAW2022 can improve how severe obstructive sleep apnea is. It may help by changing breathing patterns during sleep, measured through physiology tests.

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.
