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.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have sleep apnea with an AHI up to or including 15 (or within 15 of the target range they use)
- Your body weight (BMI) is under 35
- Your memory/thinking score (MMSE) is 24 or higher
- You do not have complex sleep apnea or other sleep disorders beyond what they allow
- You do not have an ongoing psychiatric (mental health) disorder

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 tests ways to improve how consistently Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults use CPAP (a breathing device) for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea. If you use CPAP irregularly now, the study may help you stay on track with treatment.
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 trial tests whether long-term use of CPAP therapy, supported by telemedicine, helps people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. It could improve your sleep and health.
This trial looks at how sleep apnea affects blood pressure and thinking skills. It compares people who use CPAP, people who don't, and people without sleep apnea.
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.
