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

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how well hypoglossal nerve stimulation (a device that helps keep your airway open during sleep) works by measuring how collapsible your airway is during a special sleep endoscopy. If you already use this therapy, participating may help doctors understand why it helps some people more than others.
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 whether new technologies, like a small wearable sensor, can accurately diagnose sleep apnea compared with the standard overnight sleep test. It may help people get easier, more convenient sleep apnea diagnosis.
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 looks at whether changing lung air volume affects how open or blocked your upper airway is during a drug-induced sleep test (DISE). It may help guide surgical choices for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
