Recruiting studies
- NCT05293600RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Rescue medicine trial for sleep apnea after other treatments fail
This trial studies a “rescue” set of medicines for obstructive sleep apnea when two common treatments haven’t worked well enough. If you still have frequent breathing pauses during sleep, the study may test whether these medicines can reduce them and improve safety and symptoms.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–70 - NCT05262439Recruiting
Follow-up study of CPAP mask systems for sleep apnea
This study checks how ResMed CPAP mask systems work in real-life use for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help improve comfort, fit, and performance based on what patients experience over time.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18–100 - NCT05156112Recruiting
Sleep apnea treatment for veterans with PTSD and substance use
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea with a breathing device during a residential program helps veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use problems. It aims to improve their recovery and quality of life.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05127720Recruiting
Pacemaker monitoring to study sleep apnea long term
This study uses a pacemaker to track information over time related to sleep apnea. It also includes CT scans to help the researchers better understand what’s happening in and around the heart during sleep.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT04191512Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for sleep apnea
This study compares two common treatments for moderate to severe sleep apnea: a device that keeps your airway open during sleep and a machine that delivers air pressure. It aims to see which works better for people like you.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 22 years+ - NCT04129229Enrolling by invitation
Tongue device study for moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and snoring
This trial tests a tongue retractor device to help treat obstructive sleep apnea and reduce snoring in adults. You may be eligible if you have moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and can avoid other common treatments during the study.
Brighton, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT03589846Enrolling by invitation
Muscle stimulation during a sleep endoscopy test
This trial studies whether muscle stimulation during DISE (a procedure to look at your airway while you’re sedated) can help people with obstructive sleep apnea who can’t tolerate CPAP. Your DISE is part of routine care, and the study adds a muscle stimulation step to see if it changes what’s happening in the throat.
Nashvile, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07009535Enrolling by invitation
Sleep apnea risk and orthodontic issues in children
This study looks at how narrow upper jaws (maxillary constriction) relate to sleep apnea in children with mixed teeth. It aims to understand if dental problems affect breathing during sleep and guide future treatments.
Pavia, LombardyAges 6–12 - NCT06292299Recruiting
Breathing monitor study for children with sleep or breathing issues
This study looks at how well a new breathing monitor works for children with sleep problems, breathing pauses in newborns, or epilepsy. It may help doctors better understand breathing patterns without extra needles or blood tests.
Glasgow, Glasgow CityAges 1 minute–16 years - NCT06763549Enrolling by invitation
AI-powered wearable patch for heart and lung monitoring
This study tests an AI-powered wearable patch (the COR ECG) to see if it can better track heart and lung health. It may help doctors find problems earlier without needing bulky equipment.
Melbourne, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07210606RecruitingPhase 4
Sleep apnea treatment study for veterans with heart failure
This study looks at how well a medicine called trazodone might help treat central sleep apnea in veterans who also have heart failure. It aims to improve sleep and breathing, which may help you feel better.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07214636Recruiting
Apnea therapy exercise app for sleep apnea patients
This trial tests a new exercise app to help people with sleep apnea. It looks at whether using a smartphone or tablet app can improve symptoms for those already using a CPAP machine.
Istanbul, Göztepe NeighborhoodAges 18–65 - NCT07552025Recruiting
Sound monitoring to detect breathing problems in very premature babies
This study uses special microphones to listen to and record breathing sounds in extremely premature infants (born before 29 weeks). The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect breathing problems early so babies can get help faster.
Montreal, QuebecAges Up to 7 months

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.
