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 why central sleep apnea happens in people with heart failure and tests if the sleep aid trazodone can help. It aims to find better treatments for breathing pauses during sleep that are linked to heart problems.
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 trial studies whether mild, controlled low oxygen during sleep can change sleep apnea symptoms and related blood pressure issues. It mainly looks at people with newly diagnosed, untreated sleep apnea and early high blood pressure.
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.
