Recruiting studies
- NCT07301710RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Low-tech treatments for sleep apnea
This study tests simple, low-tech treatments (like exercises) for sleep apnea. It's for people who are newly diagnosed or whose current treatment isn't working, and who are willing to pause their usual treatment for 3 months.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT07303452Recruiting
New device for sleep apnea in adults
This trial tests a new device called Restera™ Serene™ for people with obstructive sleep apnea who cannot use or do not want a CPAP mask. It may offer an alternative treatment option.
PerthAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07277608Recruiting
Study on sleep apnea patients and their health over time
This study looks at patients with suspected or confirmed obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) to understand the condition better. Researchers will follow patients for at least one year to learn more about the underlying causes and how it affects health.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06519149Recruiting
Device for sleep apnea without CPAP
This trial tests a device placed in your mouth during sleep to treat obstructive sleep apnea. It may be an option if you cannot or do not want to use a CPAP machine.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07169058Enrolling by invitation
Hands-on therapy for sleep apnea: a gentle technique
This study tests a gentle manual therapy applied to the neck to see if it can improve breathing and vital signs during sleep. It is for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who are not currently using a CPAP machine or other breathing devices.
Mardin, MardinAges 18–65 - NCT07129967Recruiting
Mouth and face exercises for childhood sleep apnea
This study tests whether simple exercises for the mouth, tongue, and face can help children with mild sleep apnea breathe better during sleep. It's a non-surgical, drug-free approach that may be a good option for kids who haven't tried other treatments.
GhentAges 6–12 - NCT07124975Enrolling by invitation
Comparing CPAP use feedback to improve treatment
This trial tests if showing your CPAP usage alongside other users helps you use it more. You'll get monthly mail with your usage data, and possibly others' data, for six months.
Kyoto, KyotoAges 20 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+ - NCT06808464Recruiting
Heart rate changes during sleep in severe sleep apnea
This study looks at how your heart rate changes during sleep in people with severe sleep apnea compared to healthy people. It uses a simple overnight recording to measure your nervous system activity.
LilleAges 18–64 - NCT06971796Recruiting
EURO-STIM Registry for Inspire implant users
This study gathers information from people who have or will receive an Inspire implant for sleep apnea. By joining, you help doctors learn how well the therapy works over time.
KlagenfurtAges 18 years+ - NCT06960200RecruitingPhase 2
Phototherapy for sleep apnea when a mouthpiece didn't work
This study tests a light-based treatment (phototherapy) for people with sleep apnea who tried an oral mouthpiece but still have symptoms. The goal is to see if this therapy can offer relief when other options haven't worked fully.
EdmontonAges 18 years+ - NCT06930404Recruiting
New ways to diagnose sleep apnea
This study tests new ways to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea. If you haven't been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06720545Recruiting
Short break from nerve stimulation therapy and heart health
This study looks at what happens to your heart health and metabolism when you stop using a nerve stimulator for sleep apnea for a short time. It may help understand the risks and benefits of taking a break from this therapy.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06664450Recruiting
Brain fog in sleep apnea
This study looks at brain fog (difficulty thinking or concentrating) in people with severe sleep apnea, both before and after starting CPAP therapy. It aims to understand how sleep apnea treatment affects brain function.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06434558Enrolling by invitation
MRI predictors of cryolysis for sleep apnea
This study uses MRI scans to see how well a cold treatment (cryolysis) works for obstructive sleep apnea. It is only open to people already in the ARCTIC-3 trial at the University of Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT06189755Recruiting
MicroRNA markers for sleep apnea
This trial is studying tiny molecules in the blood (called microRNAs) to see if they can help diagnose or monitor obstructive sleep apnea. It compares people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who are starting PAP therapy with people who do not have sleep apnea.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–75 - 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT03307330Recruiting
Study of body fat in people with obstructive sleep apnea
This study looks at how body fat (“adipose tissue”) may differ in people with obstructive sleep apnea. You may be asked for consent and could be asked to stop certain medicines short-term so researchers can take a safe fat sample.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–60 - NCT06634264Recruiting
Comparing two therapies for children with sleep apnea after surgery
This study compares two different exercises (called oral reeducation) to see which works better for children who still have breathing problems during sleep even after getting their tonsils or adenoids removed. It helps kids breathe easier at night.
Montreal, QuebecAges 4–14 - NCT07679282RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing sleep apnea treatments: CPAP, mouthpiece, or medication
This study compares three treatments for obstructive sleep apnea: a CPAP machine, a dental mouthpiece, and a combination of two medications (atomoxetine and oxybutynin). Researchers want to see which works best for people recently diagnosed with sleep apnea.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06089096Recruiting
Sleep apnea and memory in people with mild memory problems
This study looks at whether sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) is linked to thinking and memory in people who have mild memory problems. You will do a home sleep test and take memory tests to help researchers find this connection.

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.
