Comparing two treatments for sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two common treatments for moderate to severe sleep apnea: a device that keeps your airway open during sleep and a machine that delivers air pressure. It aims to see which works better for people like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 22.
- You have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, with a score (AHI) between 15 and 65.
- You already have an implanted upper airway stimulation device that is working well, or you can use a CPAP machine for at least 4 hours a night, 5 nights a week.

This study compares two different types of positive airway pressure (PAP) machines to see which one you prefer and are more likely to use consistently. It aims to find the best option for you and improve your sleep apnea treatment.
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.
This study compares two types of breathing therapy for people with sleep apnea to see which is more comfortable. If you are newly diagnosed and haven't tried treatment yet, this could help you find a more comfortable option.
This study tests a new proactive therapy for people recently diagnosed with moderate or severe sleep apnea. It aims to see how well patients stick with the treatment outside of a sleep lab.
This study is comparing two alternative treatments for moderate to severe sleep apnea in people who cannot or will not use a CPAP machine. The treatments are a custom-fitted dental device and a nerve stimulation implant, and the study will see how well they work.
This study compares a new device that tracks jaw movement during sleep to the standard sleep study (polysomnography) for diagnosing sleep apnea. You may be eligible if you have symptoms like loud snoring or daytime sleepiness and have been referred for a sleep study.
