Oxytocin added to CPAP for obstructive sleep apnea
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This early study tests whether adding oxytocin to your usual CPAP treatment improves obstructive sleep apnea. It may help see if oxytocin changes how well CPAP works or how people feel while using it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You can and are willing to use a CPAP machine for your sleep apnea during the study
- You do not have another sleep disorder at the same time
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- If you could become pregnant, you must agree to effective birth control for the whole study

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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.
This study tests alternative treatments for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who cannot use CPAP. It aims to find more tolerable options.
This trial compares two different CPAP machines to see which one works better for treating sleep apnea. You would continue using CPAP as usual and help researchers learn if a newer machine improves comfort or treatment.
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.
This trial tests whether giving CPAP (a machine that helps you breathe at night) right away, without waiting for a formal sleep study, can help people who likely have sleep apnea. It aims to provide quicker treatment, especially in areas where sleep studies are not easy to get.
