Testing sleep apnea treatment in people with serious mental illness
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may affect thinking and brain-related outcomes in people with serious mental illness. It mainly wants adults ages 40–70 who either have OSA or are likely to have it, and who are not already on sleep apnea treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old
- You either have obstructive sleep apnea or are at risk for it
- If you have serious mental illness, it must be schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder
- You cannot be currently taking sleep apnea treatment like APAP or CPAP (if you already have OSA)

This study tests a new proactive therapy for people recently diagnosed with moderate or severe sleep apnea. It aims to see how well patients stick with the treatment outside of a sleep lab.
This trial uses a non-wearable device to assess sleep-disordered breathing in people with schizophrenia who are hospitalized. It aims to understand if this easy method can help monitor sleep issues.
This study looks at how mood and personality traits affect treatment adherence in people with suspected or confirmed sleep apnea. It may help tailor support for better treatment outcomes.
This study looks at how thinking and memory are affected in people with newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops briefly during sleep). It aims to understand the impact of sleep apnea on brain function.
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.
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects thinking and mood by checking certain proteins in the body. They want to see if these proteins can help predict or explain changes in memory, focus, or emotions.
