Recruiting studies
- NCT06620601Recruiting
Digital technology for sleep and homelessness
This study explores how digital tools can help improve sleep for people living in shelters. It aims to test whether wearable devices or apps can support better sleep habits and health.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06668597Recruiting
Sleep apnea education and motivation program
This trial tests an educational program to help people with sleep apnea start using CPAP at home. The program is designed to motivate and guide you through the process of adapting to CPAP therapy.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06677151Recruiting
New sleep apnea device study for CPAP users
This study tests a new device for sleep apnea that you can use instead of a CPAP machine. If you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and CPAP isn't working well for you, this study may help find an easier option.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06803095Recruiting
Walking with a dog for tinnitus relief in sleep apnea
This study tests whether walking with a dog can help reduce tinnitus complaints in people who have mild sleep apnea and are overweight. It aims to see if this simple, enjoyable activity can improve your symptoms.
Dokki, Giza GovernorateAges 30–45 - NCT06875479Recruiting
Testing a sleep tracking mat for sleep apnea diagnosis
This study tests if a special sleep tracking mat can accurately diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) compared to the standard overnight sleep test. If you snore, feel sleepy during the day, or have poor sleep, joining could help improve diagnosis methods.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06915831Recruiting
Type 1 diabetes and sleep apnea study
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects blood sugar control in adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand if treating sleep apnea improves diabetes management.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–50 - NCT06926036Recruiting
Sound therapy for sleep apnea
This study aims to test whether a special sound technique can help people with sleep apnea sleep better. It may offer a new way to manage the condition without needing a CPAP machine.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–60 - NCT07186725Recruiting
Home sleep monitor for obstructive sleep apnea
This trial tests a new home-based sleep monitor that goes under your mattress. It may help people with obstructive sleep apnea who are using a mouthpiece (MAD) as treatment.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–80 - NCT07332442RecruitingPhase 3
CPAP and arousal in new sleep apnea patients
This study tests whether a common sleep apnea treatment (CPAP) affects how easily you wake up and the reasons behind it. It is for people who have just been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are not taking certain sleep medications or alcohol.
North Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT00695214RecruitingPhase 2
Test with medicine-assisted sleep endoscopy for sleep apnea
This trial studies how well a procedure done while you sleep helps doctors understand the blockage causing obstructive sleep apnea and plan surgery. You may be helped if you’re an adult with sleep apnea who is considering surgical treatment.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07376343Recruiting
Comparing CPAP pressure formulas vs lab titration for sleep apnea
This study compares two ways to set CPAP machine pressure for Thai people with obstructive sleep apnea: using a quick formula versus a full overnight lab test. It helps find the best pressure more easily.
Pathum ThaniAges 18 years+ - NCT02630121RecruitingPhase 4
Nasal spray treatment to reduce mild sleep apnea congestion
This study tests whether using oxymetazoline with fluticasone nasal spray can improve mild obstructive sleep apnea by lowering nasal congestion. If your nose stays blocked most days despite current spray use, this may help your breathing during sleep.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–65 - NCT07444372Recruiting
CPAP for Sleep Apnea After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
This trial tests whether starting CPAP therapy (a breathing mask used during sleep) after a heart procedure called atrial fibrillation ablation can help people with both sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation. It might lower the chance of the heart rhythm problem coming back.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07149233Enrolling by invitation
Breathing muscle training for sleep apnea patients
This trial tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe can improve sleep for people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. It is for adults who are not currently receiving standard treatments like CPAP.
Recife, PernambucoAges 18–70 - NCT06915077Enrolling by invitation
Personalized treatment for sleep apnea
This study tests alternative treatments for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who cannot use CPAP. It aims to find more tolerable options.
Wilrijk, AntwerpenAges 18 years+ - NCT06330116Enrolling by invitation
Mouth and throat exercises for snoring and mild sleep apnea
This study tests different forms of oral myofunctional therapy (exercises for your mouth and throat) to find out which works best for reducing snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. It may help you breathe better and sleep more soundly.
Köge, Region SjællandAges 18–75 - NCT03255408RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sleep study testing breathing and blood flow in healthy adults
This study looks at how your brain blood flow and breathing change during sleep under normal oxygen and reduced oxygen. It will only include healthy adults so researchers can learn what “intermittent hypoxia” does to the body in people without medical problems.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–45 - NCT07301125Enrolling by invitation
Tongue and mouth exercises for sleep apnea
This study tests if doing specific tongue and mouth exercises can help people with obstructive sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea and are willing to pause other treatments for 3 months, you may be able to join.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–65 - NCT05289063RecruitingPhase 1
Study new sleep apnea and blood vessel function
This Phase 1 study looks at how blood vessel function is affected by obstructive sleep apnea in adults who are newly diagnosed and have not used CPAP. It may help researchers understand the early effects of sleep apnea and guide future treatments.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07744854Recruiting
Monitoring breathing with sensors during sleep
This study tests two wearable sensors that track how hard you breathe while you sleep. It may help diagnose sleep and breathing problems without needing a hospital visit.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT07049744Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for adults with obstructive sleep apnea
This trial tests a device that stimulates a nerve to keep your airway open during sleep. It might help if you have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea and cannot use a CPAP mask.
Canberra, Australian Capital TerritoryAges 21 years+ - NCT03736382Recruiting
Study how mild low-oxygen affects sleep apnea and blood pressure
This trial studies whether mild, controlled low oxygen during sleep can change sleep apnea symptoms and related blood pressure issues. It mainly looks at people with newly diagnosed, untreated sleep apnea and early high blood pressure.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–60 - NCT05459935Recruiting
Light treatment for enlarged tonsils in children
This trial studies whether a light-based treatment (called photobiomodulation) can help children with very enlarged tonsils. It may improve breathing and sleep symptoms, and you’d have before-and-after checkups, including sleep testing.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 6–12 - NCT05804084RecruitingPhase 2
Acetazolamide for sleep apnea: sleep and brain outcomes
This study tests acetazolamide (a medicine that changes breathing chemistry) to see how it affects sleep quality and neurocognitive (brain/memory/attention) outcomes in adults with untreated moderate to severe sleep apnea. You may be eligible if you have significant sleep apnea but do not have certain safety risks or need to start standard sleep apnea treatment right away.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for sleep apnea?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 342 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.
