Using sleep study patterns to guide future OSA treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at results from a sleep test to better understand the different types (“endotypes”) of obstructive sleep apnea. Your information may help doctors choose the next best step—often a procedure called drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE)—to guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have obstructive sleep apnea, with AHI 5 or higher
- Your care team says you are a good candidate for DISE as the next step
- You can understand the study and sign informed consent
- Your sleep study records (polysomnography data) are available at the Antwerp University Hospital

This trial checks how well hypoglossal nerve stimulation therapy keeps your airway open while you are sedated. It may help people already using this therapy understand if it is working.
This study looks at how well current and new devices can diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). You may help researchers find more accurate and easier ways to detect breathing problems during sleep.
This study tests a personalized treatment approach for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) based on your specific type of the condition. If you've just been diagnosed and haven't had surgery or used a CPAP machine, you may qualify.
This trial studies whether muscle stimulation during DISE (a procedure to look at your airway while you’re sedated) can help people with obstructive sleep apnea who can’t tolerate CPAP. Your DISE is part of routine care, and the study adds a muscle stimulation step to see if it changes what’s happening in the throat.
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 study tests two different ways to help people breathe better during sleep. If you were recently diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), this trial may help you find which device works best for your condition.
