Testing how thinking decisions affect CPAP use
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a person’s decision-making skills affect how well they use CPAP, a common treatment for sleep apnea. It may help you and your care team improve CPAP adherence so therapy is more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 looks at how stopping CPAP for 14 nights affects “brain waste clearance,” a process your brain uses to clear byproducts during sleep. It is testing whether using CPAP versus stopping it changes this brain cleanup in adults with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
This study tests whether health advocates can help people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea start using a PAP machine. If you've never used a PAP or other sleep apnea treatment before, this trial may help you get support and guidance.
This study looks at different types of sleep apnea to find the best treatment for each person. If you are newly diagnosed and haven't tried CPAP yet, your participation could help doctors personalize therapy for better results.
This study tests ways to help Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults use their PAP (positive airway pressure) machine more regularly to treat sleep apnea. If you qualify, you'll get extra support to stick with your treatment.
