Recruiting studies
- NCT04471740Recruiting
Study of hydrocephalus and sleep apnea
This study looks at people who may have normal-pressure hydrocephalus (fluid-related swelling in the brain) and also focuses on sleep apnea. It may help researchers understand whether treating or studying sleep issues could improve symptoms related to this condition.

Study of an SGLT2 pill for sleep apnea in overweight adults
This study tests whether taking an SGLT2 inhibitor pill (bexagliflozin) can improve obstructive sleep apnea and related body measurements. It focuses on people who are overweight or obese and have confirmed obstructive sleep apnea.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05939934Recruiting
Test a mouth device for sleep apnea after stopping CPAP
This study looks at whether a mandibular advancement device (a fitted mouthpiece) can control sleep apnea when you temporarily stop CPAP. It’s mainly for people who have been using CPAP for over a year but are now willing to try the mouth device.
AngersAges 18–75 - NCT06043440RecruitingPhase 2
Oxygen therapy for sleep apnea in Down syndrome
This study tests whether oxygen therapy can help children with Down syndrome who have sleep apnea. It compares oxygen treatment to no treatment to see if it improves breathing during sleep and thinking skills.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 5–18 - NCT06471751Recruiting
Muscle training for moderate sleep apnea
This trial tests whether a 3-month program of muscle exercises for breathing and mouth strengthens the airway, to help people with moderate sleep apnea breathe better during sleep and possibly reduce their symptoms.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT06514482Recruiting
Spanish sleep apnea and daytime sleepiness registry
This study will collect information from people with suspected sleep apnea who feel very sleepy during the day. If you are 18 or older and about to have a sleep study, you may be able to help researchers learn more about this condition.
Logroño, La RiojaAges 18 years+ - NCT06769607Recruiting
New auto-CPAP algorithm for sleep apnea
This study tests a new, smarter way for your CPAP machine to automatically adjust air pressure while you sleep. If you have a ResMed AirSense 10 or 11 and have been using it for a few months, you may be eligible.
Bella Vista, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06801366Recruiting
Video clips to help diagnose sleep apnea in children
This study tests if video clips recorded at home can help diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in children, possibly reducing the need for an overnight hospital sleep test. It may be a good fit if your child is between 2 and 18 years old, has been referred for a sleep study, and you have a smartphone or tablet.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 2–18 - NCT07082608Recruiting
Weight loss procedure plus lifestyle changes for sleep apnea
This study tests whether a stomach procedure called endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) plus lifestyle changes helps people with sleep apnea lose more weight and improve their breathing compared to lifestyle changes alone. If you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and have struggled to lose weight, this may be an option.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18 years+ - NCT07301762Enrolling by invitation
Manual lymphatic drainage device for sleep apnea patients
This trial tests if a nightly automated manual lymphatic drainage device called Neuroglide can improve how the brain clears waste (glymphatic function) in people with obstructive sleep apnea. You may qualify if you are 50 or older, have sleep apnea, and regularly use CPAP.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 50 years+ - NCT04444778Enrolling by invitation
Study intermittent low oxygen in sleep apnea
This study looks at how repeated episodes of low oxygen during sleep affect the body in people with severe sleep apnea. It may help researchers understand what causes symptoms and long-term risks, which could guide better treatment decisions.
Palma, Balearic IslandsAges 18–65 - NCT07121452Recruiting
Telehealth vs. standard care for sleep apnea in military families
This study compares a telehealth sleep-apnea program to standard care for people newly diagnosed with sleep apnea who are referred to private doctors in the TRICARE network. It aims to see if telehealth is just as effective and more convenient for military families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–64 - NCT06578390Recruiting
Testing a smartphone app for sleep apnea diagnosis
This trial tests whether a smartphone app (Apneal®) can accurately diagnose sleep apnea during a routine sleep study. If you are already going to have a sleep study, you may be able to help test this device.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT07369011RecruitingPhase 3
Study of eloralintide for sleep apnea with obesity
This study tests an investigational medication called eloralintide to see if it can improve sleep apnea in people who are overweight or have obesity. You will receive either the study drug or a placebo (inactive shot), and your sleep and weight will be monitored over time.
Cullman, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07743892Recruiting
Sleep apnea and body awareness study
This study looks at how people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) sense and understand their bodies, which may help improve treatment. If you have been diagnosed with OSA, you might be able to join.
KarabükAges 18–65 - NCT06047496RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Time-restricted eating for sleep apnea
This study tests whether limiting your eating to a shorter daily window can improve health in people with untreated moderate to severe sleep apnea. You would eat all your meals within a set number of hours each day while tracking your progress on your smartphone.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT06848647Recruiting
Treating sleep apnea to improve metabolism
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea with CPAP improves your body's metabolism (how your body uses energy). It's for people who have sleep apnea and are about to start CPAP therapy.
Uppsala, Uppsala CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06931028RecruitingPhase 3
Study of IBI362 for sleep apnea with obesity
This study tests an investigational medication (IBI362) to see if it can improve sleep apnea in people with obesity. You might qualify if you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and a BMI of 28 or higher, whether or not you currently use a CPAP machine.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06974851RecruitingPhase 3
Study of HRS9531 for sleep apnea and obesity
This trial tests an injectable medication (HRS9531) to see if it helps people with both obstructive sleep apnea and obesity. It compares the drug to a placebo (no active medicine) to check safety and effectiveness.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07191314Recruiting
Long-term study of a nasal airway for sleep apnea
This study is for people who already finished a previous study using a device called a nasopharyngeal airway (a small tube placed in the nose to help with breathing during sleep). It will check how well the device works over a longer time.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06283095Recruiting
Expanding the palate to help sleep apnea
This surgery expands the palate to treat obstructive sleep apnea caused by a narrow upper airway. It may help people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who have a specific type of airway collapse seen on a sleep-endoscopy test.
AsyutAges 18–70 - NCT03924817Recruiting
Registry study of mouth guards for sleep apnea
This registry study collects real-world information from adults who have been prescribed a mandibular advancement device (a custom mouth guard worn during sleep). It aims to understand how people use these devices and whether they help with obstructive sleep apnea symptoms.
Blaubeuren Abbey, Badden-WürttembergAges 18–99 - NCT04124848Recruiting

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.
