Body fat changes after CPAP-treated sleep apnea improves
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery may change body fat and body shape in people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who use CPAP. It aims to understand what may improve when sleep apnea is better controlled after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are eligible for bariatric surgery for severe or morbid obesity (based on BMI).
- You have diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (confirmed by a sleep study).
- Your sleep apnea is significant (AHI greater than 15 events per hour).
- You currently need CPAP treatment for your sleep apnea.
- You do not have a cognitive or language problem that would prevent understanding study instructions.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of breathing machines (CPAP and APAP) to see which works better for people with sleep apnea who are having weight-loss surgery. It may help improve sleep and recovery around the time of surgery.
This study tests a sleep apnea treatment approach and looks at how it may affect your body’s metabolism. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with sleep apnea and meet health and medication rules, and possibly if you already use a PAP machine regularly.
This study checks how often people with obesity and sleep apnea, who use a CPAP machine, have a breathing problem during sleep called nocturnal hypoventilation (low breathing effort at night). It aims to see if these patients need extra breathing support beyond CPAP.
This study tests an investigational medicine given as an injection to help people with obstructive sleep apnea and a high body mass index (BMI). It may reduce breathing pauses during sleep and support weight loss, all while you continue using your CPAP machine.
This study tests a new injectable medicine (NNC0487-0111) to help people lose weight and improve obstructive sleep apnea (a breathing condition during sleep). You must already be using a CPAP machine (positive airway pressure device) for your sleep apnea.
This study tests a lifestyle and physical activity program as a treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It is for people who have not tried CPAP and want to see if exercise and healthy habits can help.
