Recruiting studies
- NCT07047092RecruitingPhase 3
CPAP vs. NIV for sleep apnea in COPD after breathing failure
This trial compares two breathing devices (CPAP and NIV) for people with both COPD and sleep apnea who recently needed breathing help in the hospital. The goal is to see which device works better at preventing future breathing emergencies.
ParisAges 18–84 - NCT07062770Recruiting
Testing air rebreathing during CPAP use
This study checks how much air rebreathing (breathing in some of your own exhaled air) happens when you use a CPAP machine. It might help improve CPAP therapy for people with sleep apnea.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–70 - NCT07111962Recruiting
Testing how well a dental device works for sleep apnea
This trial looks at how well a mouthpiece (NOA OATMAD) works for people already being treated for sleep apnea. If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and use this type of dental appliance, you may be able to help researchers understand if it is effective.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07122505Recruiting
Mouth muscle therapy for sleep apnea in kids with Down or Prader-Willi syndrome
This study tests a therapy that strengthens mouth and tongue muscles to help children with Down or Prader-Willi syndrome who have mild obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to improve breathing during sleep without surgery or machines.
GhentAges 4–18 - NCT07176767Recruiting
Sleep study on insomnia and mask use in kids
This study looks at how insomnia affects how well children and teenagers use their breathing mask (PAP therapy) for sleep apnea. It aims to find ways to help kids stick with their treatment.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 8–18 - NCT07254026Recruiting
Precision health and smart telerehabilitation for sleep apnea
This trial tests a smart home-based program using telerehabilitation to help people with obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to see if personalized health coaching and remote exercise can improve sleep and overall health.
TainanAges 20 years+ - NCT07280468RecruitingPhase 4
Personalized sleep apnea treatment for Down syndrome
This study tests if a treatment chosen based on your specific type of sleep apnea works better for people with Down syndrome. It looks for participants who have sleep apnea but are not already using a CPAP machine regularly.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 6 years+ - NCT07283289Recruiting
Obstructive sleep apnea in patients with PAD
This study looks at how common obstructive sleep apnea is in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Participants will have a sleep test as part of their regular care.
Toulon, VarAges 18 years+ - NCT07292922Recruiting
Digital therapy for sleep apnea with tongue and face exercises
This trial tests a digital therapy program that uses tongue and face exercises to help with sleep apnea. It's designed for people who have mild to moderate sleep apnea but cannot or do not want to use a CPAP machine or mouthpiece.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - NCT02762175Recruiting
Track breathing airway changes after jaw surgery for sleep apnea
This study records how your upper airway changes on scans after a jaw surgery called MMA for obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS). It also looks at how those changes relate to quality of life, which may help doctors better predict who benefits from surgery.
BrugesAges Any age - NCT02919930Recruiting
Testing a new breathing support choice for central sleep apnea
This study looks at which settings to use for adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV), a machine that helps breathing during sleep. It is meant for people with central sleep apnea who are not getting enough benefit from CPAP, so ASV may be a better match.
LeuvenAges 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.
Gyeonggi-do, Seongnam-siAges 19 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT07312136Enrolling by invitation
Liver health follow-up in type 2 diabetes
This study follows up on people who already joined the EPSONIP trial to check how their liver health (MASLD) has changed over time. It uses MRI to look at the liver and does not test any new medicine.
Linköping, Östergötland CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06970171Enrolling by invitation
Willingness to use a sleep apnea mouthpiece
This trial tests how well people accept a mouthpiece (mandibular advancement device) to treat obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where your breathing stops and starts during sleep). If you have sleep apnea and can wear a device that moves your lower jaw forward while you sleep, you may be able to join.
Greifswald, Mecklenburg-VorpommernAges 18–75 - NCT06786117Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for sleep apnea?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 344 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.
