CPAP for high blood pressure when lying down
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether using CPAP (a breathing device) can help control high blood pressure that happens when you lie down, in people with autonomic failure. It’s designed for safety and effectiveness and may improve symptoms and blood pressure control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have autonomic failure (your body has trouble automatically controlling functions like blood pressure).
- You have high blood pressure specifically when you are lying down (supine hypertension).
- You are not currently pregnant.
- You do not have major, high-risk heart or serious prior heart/brain events (for example heart failure, chest-pain heart disease, stroke, or heart attack).
- You do not have significant liver problems.
- You do not have a history of serious allergies or asthma.

This study tests whether using a CPAP breathing machine at night can lower high blood pressure that happens while you sleep. It targets people with nervous-system problems that affect blood pressure changes when standing.
This study checks whether raising the head of the bed lowers blood pressure while you’re lying down in people with autonomic failure. It may help find a simple positioning change to reduce risks from high lying blood pressure.
This proof-of-concept pilot study tests whether a controlled breathing test that re-breathes carbon dioxide can improve symptoms or body responses in people with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when standing). It may help researchers understand how the nervous system involved in blood pressure control works.
This trial studies whether CPAP treatment can improve blood pressure in people with obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to find out who benefits most from CPAP in terms of blood pressure control.
This trial tests whether treating sleep-disordered breathing (like sleep apnea) can help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. You may join if you have high blood pressure and haven't been diagnosed with a sleep disorder before.
This study tests whether using CPAP (a breathing machine) for obstructive sleep apnea can improve blood pressure and heartbeat timing. You’ll have blood pressure checked at the start and again after 6 months, along with a sleep evaluation to confirm eligibility.
