Study of how to treat central sleep apnea in Veterans
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a Veteran, age 18 or older
- You have central sleep apnea with AHI over 15 per hour and CAHI over 5 per hour
- You are not pregnant and not breastfeeding
- You do not have severe lung/breathing disease that requires oxygen
- Your BMI is 40 or less

This study looks at how well a medicine called trazodone might help treat central sleep apnea in veterans who also have heart failure. It aims to improve sleep and breathing, which may help you feel better.
This trial studies a treatment approach for sleep-disordered breathing (breathing problems during sleep) in Veterans who take prescription opioids. It may help doctors learn safer ways to manage sleep breathing issues that can be made worse by opioid use.
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects thinking skills and overall health in older veterans who also have COPD. It may help researchers understand what changes to target to improve daytime functioning and wellbeing.
This study tests whether certain medications can help older adults with mild to moderate sleep apnea breathe better during sleep. It aims to improve sleep quality and safety for elderly patients.
This study tests a medicine called acetazolamide to see if it can improve how your brain controls breathing during sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea and are not using treatment, you might be able to join.
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.
