Sleep breathing problems and multiple health conditions study
This study is for people who may have sleep-related breathing problems (like sleep apnea). It looks at how these issues connect with other health conditions. Participants will do a one-night sleep test and some simple health checks at Xiangya Hospital.

Reboxetine for sleep apnea after ENT surgery
This study tests if the medication reboxetine helps reduce sleep apnea symptoms after planned upper airway surgery. It may be a good fit if you have sleep apnea and are having surgery on your nose or throat.
Bedford Park, South AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06462287RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a substance P blocker for high blood pressure and sleep apnea
This study tests if a drug that blocks substance P can lower a hormone called aldosterone in people with both severe sleep apnea and high blood pressure. If you have these conditions, this trial may help find a new treatment option.
Rouen, FranceAges 18–75 - NCT04118387RecruitingPhase 4
Study of how to treat central sleep apnea in Veterans
This Phase 4 study looks at what’s going on in the body during central sleep apnea and uses that information to guide treatment. If you have central sleep apnea, this could help confirm or improve how treatment is chosen for you.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06711159Recruiting
Searching for a biomarker of sleepiness in severe sleep apnea
This study looks for a biological marker of severe daytime sleepiness in people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who haven't started breathing machine treatment yet. It may help doctors better understand and treat sleepiness in the future.
Koege, Regional ZealandAges 18 years+ - NCT07579871Recruiting
Sleep patterns and recovery after first stroke
This study looks at how sleep affects recovery in people who have had their first ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot). Researchers want to understand whether sleep quality influences how well patients regain function after stroke.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07103941Recruiting
Study of whether MAD therapy prevents bite changes
This study tests how well a dental device called a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) prevents changes in your bite and jaw alignment. It is for adults with sleep-disordered breathing who already have healthy, well-restored teeth.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT07332780Recruiting
Tonsil and adenoid surgery for kids with mild breathing troubles during sleep
This study looks at whether removing tonsils and adenoids can help improve spine curves in children who have mild sleep-disordered breathing. It may help prevent scoliosis from getting worse.
Wenzhou, ZhejiangAges 6–15 - NCT07259200Recruiting
Sleep quality after atrial fibrillation ablation
This study looks at how treating AFib with a procedure called catheter ablation might affect your sleep quality. You can join if you have AFib and are already planning to have this procedure, and you also have at least one risk factor for sleep apnea.
Grodzisk MazowieckiAges 18 years+ - NCT06564896Recruiting
Comparing sleep apnea treatments (CPAP vs alternatives)
This trial compares different positive airway pressure (PAP) machines to see which works best for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. If you have been diagnosed but haven't used a CPAP yet, this study may help find the best option for you.
Cheras, Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT06030349Recruiting
Breathing support for kids with Down syndrome and sleep apnea
This trial looks at how well non-invasive breathing machines help children with Down syndrome who have obstructive sleep apnea. It tracks their health and sleep over time to see if the treatment works and improves daily life.
DublinAges 6 months–16 years - NCT04007380Recruiting
Sleep problems after spinal cord injury study
This study looks at how sleep-disordered breathing (breathing problems during sleep) affects mood, thinking, and behavior after a spinal cord injury. It may help researchers understand the impact of these sleep breathing issues and guide better support for people after injury.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07447284Recruiting

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.
