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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of sleep apnea devices (CPAP and APAP) to see which works better for people with obesity who are waiting for bariatric surgery. It aims to find the best way to manage sleep apnea before and after the procedure.
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 will check if obese people who use a CPAP machine for sleep apnea also have trouble breathing during the night. We want to see how common this problem is and find ways to help.
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.
This study tests an investigational medication (IBI362) to see if it can improve sleep apnea in people with obesity. You might qualify if you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and a BMI of 28 or higher, whether or not you currently use a CPAP machine.
