Registry for teens and young adults with OSA who can’t use CPAP
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study collects information in a registry to help doctors understand outcomes for young people with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who cannot use CPAP and may use an implantable breathing stimulation device. You might qualify if you’ve tried and couldn’t tolerate CPAP and you’re able/willing to get and use the device and return for follow-ups and sleep tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 to 21
- Moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea on a recent sleep study
- Tried CPAP or similar breathing-pressure therapy but couldn’t tolerate it (even after help to improve use)
- Not helped by, or cannot have, adenotonsillectomy (tonsils/adenoids surgery)
- Willing to permanently have the implant placed and use the handheld remote
- Able/willing to come back for visits, sleep tests (home and lab), and questionnaires

This study gathers information from people who have or will receive an Inspire implant for sleep apnea. By joining, you help doctors learn how well the therapy works over time.
This study is tracking how well a nerve stimulation device works for people with obstructive sleep apnea who can't use a CPAP machine. The device, called Inspire, sends mild electrical pulses to help keep your airway open while you sleep.
This trial tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses to help keep your airway open while you sleep. It's for people with moderate sleep apnea who have trouble using a CPAP machine.
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 trial tests a new nerve-stimulation therapy called Neuromod to treat moderate-to-severe sleep apnea in people who do not have access to other treatments. If you qualify, you would be part of a study to see if this implant helps improve your breathing during sleep.
This trial tests a nerve-stimulation implant for sleep apnea when other treatments haven't worked. It may help if you have moderate to severe apnea, a BMI under 32, and have tried CPAP and a mouth device without success.
