CPAP treatment for sleep apnea and blood pressure changes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using CPAP (a breathing machine) for obstructive sleep apnea can improve blood pressure and heartbeat timing. You’ll have blood pressure checked at the start and again after 6 months, along with a sleep evaluation to confirm eligibility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 30 and 75 years old
- Have high blood pressure, and keep your blood pressure medicines the same for at least 3 months
- Have a sleep study showing obstructive sleep apnea (with enough oxygen drops during sleep) and be planned to start CPAP
- Be able to use an at-home/ambulatory blood pressure cuff for the baseline and 6-month measurements
- Not currently use CPAP or a dental device for sleep apnea

This study is looking at a specific sleep-related condition (obstructive sleep apnea) in adults whose blood pressure is not high, and how their blood pressure rhythm changes over the day. If you have sleep apnea, participating could help researchers understand patterns that may affect long-term health.
This trial compares two different CPAP machines to see which one works better for treating sleep apnea. You would continue using CPAP as usual and help researchers learn if a newer machine improves comfort or treatment.
This trial studies whether CPAP treatment can improve blood pressure in people with obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to find out who benefits most from CPAP in terms of blood pressure control.
This trial tests whether treating sleep-disordered breathing (like sleep apnea) can help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. You may join if you have high blood pressure and haven't been diagnosed with a sleep disorder before.
This study keeps a record of people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who also have high blood pressure, to better understand how CPAP is used and what outcomes happen. It may help your care team by contributing your information to a large multi-center study in China.
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.
